How does it work?
Phase 1 – Prepare
Complexity is the worst enemy of security, but a complex environment (like a state) is a sum of its simpler components (agencies, counties, etc.).
• Classify entities
• Assign roles
Phase 2 – Assess
Information security is risk management, and risk cannot be managed without understanding and quantification (measurement).
• Define inheritance
• Current state
Phase 3 – Enable
Risk decisions are made by “them”, not “us”. We help them make good risk decisions and implement their risk decisions.
• Consult/enable
• Implement/monitor
