C-Level Security Policy Workshops™,  Day Organizational Security Policy Workshops. Every organization needs a written document stating the organization's policy on infrastructure and network security. The document must be written in a comprehensive but understandable manner and must be read, understood and acknowledge - often in writing - by each and every employee and often contractors and sometimes even customers. Many organizations already have such a policy: maybe its time for a review. But, many organizations do not have a policy and the time is now to draft one. A comprehensive, well-written Organizational Security Policy from a reputable, experienced consulting firm could cost a small to medium size organization anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000. By having an outside consultant prepare the document, not only are dollar costs high, the process robs the organization from participating directly in the document's creation, thereby leaving the organization with a document which is not fully customized to their needs. And, if they want to participate more fully, that participation drives the cost up even further. This is where the C-Level Security Policy Workshops™ provide the biggest benefit to attendees: the attendee leaves the second day of the workshop with a draft Organization Security Policy which they created themselves and which is highly customized to their own needs.

C-Level Security Policy Workshops™

Audience:
This workshop is designed specifically for senior management at the "C" Level: Chief Executive Officers (CEO), Chief Technology Officers (CTO), Chief Information Officers (CIO), Chief Financial Officers (CFO), and Chief Security Officers (CSO), Vice President of Human Resources (VP-HR) or any other management responsible for providing guidance and leadership to a company on their infrastructure and network security issues.

Prerequisites:
There are no prerequisites for this workshop.

Workshop Description:
Every organization needs a written document stating the organization's policy on infrastructure and network security. The document must be written in a comprehensive but understandable manner and must be read, understood and acknowledge - often in writing - by each and every employee and often contractors and sometimes even customers. Many organizations already have such a policy: maybe its time for a review. But, many organizations do not have a policy and the time is now to draft one.

Most organizations do not clearly understand the risks and liabilities of bad or incomplete network and/or infrastructure security. In many cases organizations hit by a "hack attack" are operationally crippled, experience direct loss such as loss of business or costs due to damage while many are impacted, often to a bigger extent, by indirect losses such as loss of customer confidence or loss of share value and subsequent loss of shareholder and market trust.

A comprehensive, well-written Organizational Security Policy from a reputable, experienced consulting firm could cost a small to medium size organization anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000. By having an outside consultant prepare the document, not only are dollar costs high, the process robs the organization from participating directly in the document's creation, thereby leaving the organization with a document which is not fully customized to their needs. And, if they want to participate more fully, that participation drives the cost up even further. This is where the C-Level Security Policy Workshops™ provide the biggest benefit to attendees: the attendee leaves the second day of the workshop with a draft Organization Security Policy which they created themselves and which is highly customized to their own needs.

The first day of the workshop is a traditional classroom style lecture by internationally recognized consultant James P. Cavanagh. During the first day Mr. Cavanagh will explain the strategy and objectives of the program, the three elements of security (people, policy and technology) and then spend the remainder of the day explaining how to collect information for the "Network and Infrastructure Security Report Card". Each workshop attendee will also receive a printed handbook with explanations of the strategy and tactics associated with each element of information gathering. At the end of Day 1 the workshop attendees will return to their respective workplaces to collect the information needed to complete the Network and Infrastructure Security Report Card.

Day 2 of the workshop will begin at 8:00 am with a very brief introduction after which time attendees will participate in round table discussions with groups of no more than ten workshop attendees and a senior security consultant/moderator from The Consultant Registry or associated consulting organization. The only break during the day will be for a hot buffet lunch with the workgroups. During the round table discussions strategies and tactics will be devised and the each attendee will have an opportunity to put together a draft action plan tailored to the needs of their own organization.

For attendees wishing the assistance of their consultant/moderator after the end of the workshop the consultant/moderator will be available for follow-on consultation at a reduced daily and hourly consulting rate.
