HOW TO DEFINE MY 3-YEARS CYBERSECURITY ROADMAP?
Do you have a 3-years cybersecurity roadmap?
Know your needs.
The first step towards crafting a cybersecurity plan is understanding the current standing. While delving into technical details is essential, understanding the broader picture of the business operations, associates, and risks is equally crucial.
Asking fundamental questions regarding the business's purpose, critical information or services, and the associated risks can be enlightening. It's a common misconception that some entities are too small to be targeted, but incidents like ransomware attacks debunk this myth. Hence, a thorough understanding of your needs is key to formulating an effective cybersecurity roadmap.
Align to a Framework.
With a clear understanding of the needs, aligning the plans with a security framework is the next step. A security framework provides a set of guidelines and best practices to manage and mitigate risks, acting like signposts guiding you towards a secure destination.
Common frameworks like the ISO/IEC 27001 standard and the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) serve as well-traveled roadmaps aiding in cybersecurity planning.
Aligning with a framework simplifies the planning process, offering a clear starting point and a set of practices to follow, thus learning from the experiences of others who have traversed similar paths.
Implement your roadmap.
It’s time to act on the cybersecurity roadmap. Begin with essential cyber hygiene to lay a strong foundation, akin to how basic hygiene practices prevent various diseases. As you delve deeper into your roadmap, managing secure configurations becomes crucial.
Utilise security benchmarks to guide you in hardening your systems.
Starting with basic cyber hygiene, progressing to secure configuration management, and employing automation, you move steadily along your cybersecurity roadmap, addressing challenges and enhancing your organisation's cybersecurity posture.

Identifying areas for process optimisation saves resources and ensures controls are effective and well-integrated within your organisation. With an ever-changing threat landscape, continual evaluation and adaptation of your cybersecurity measures are key to navigating through evolving challenges.
Conclusion.
Crafting a 3-year cybersecurity roadmap is a strategic endeavor that requires meticulous planning, implementation, and continuous improvement. From understanding the organisational needs, aligning with a security framework, to iterative reviews and revisions, each step contributes towards building a resilient cybersecurity posture.
This roadmap, marked by its agility, not only addresses the present security posture but also prepares the organisation to adeptly navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape, ensuring a safer digital journey ahead.
