Information Security Programs

A program can be defined as a set of activities implemented in a structured manner to achieve a common objective. A security program includes various activities, such as implementing controls, raising awareness, monitoring, and reporting on controls and other related activities.

A security strategy is a guiding force for the implementation of a security program. The roadmap detailing the security implementation, i.e., procedure, resources, and timelines, is developed based on this strategy. Further, various implementation activities can be aligned and integrated on the basis of this strategy to achieve security objectives more effectively and efficiently.

An information security program should be aligned with the business objectives of the organization. The effectiveness of an information security program is determined based on its ability to address the risks impacting the business objectives.
