Does your organization have a process to communicate cybersecurity plans and updates to responsible personnel and affected stakeholders?
Explanation
Effective cybersecurity implementation requires clear communication of plans and updates to ensure all responsible parties understand their roles and affected stakeholders are aware of changes that may impact them. Without proper communication, even well-designed security plans may fail due to inconsistent implementation or resistance from uninformed stakeholders. Evidence could include communication plans, meeting minutes documenting plan discussions, email notifications of updates, acknowledgment forms signed by responsible parties, or screenshots of an internal portal where cybersecurity plans are shared and updated.
Implementation Example
Communicate cybersecurity plans (including updates) to those responsible for carrying them out and to affected parties
