Introduction
Cybersecurity Frameworks, a set of guidelines and
best practices, are instrumental in managing an
organizations IT security architecture. Based on
prior experience, one can either generalize or
custom-build cybersecurity frameworks. Cybersecuri
ty frameworks provide organizations with a
systematic approach to managing and reducing
cybersecurity risk. They help organizations
identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks
while enabling continuous monitoring and
improvement of cybersecurity practices.

Cybersecurity Frameworks, a set of guidelines and
best practices, are instrumental in managing an
organizations IT security architecture. Based on
prior experience, one can either generalize or
custom-build cybersecurity frameworks. Cybersecuri
ty frameworks provide organizations with a
systematic approach to managing and reducing
cybersecurity risk. They help organizations
identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks
while enabling continuous monitoring and
improvement of cybersecurity practices. Some of
the popular cybersecurity frameworks include NIST
Cybersecurity Framework, CIS Controls, ISO/IEC
27001, and COBIT.

Why are Cybersecurity Frameworks Necessary?
7

• An organizations security architecture is
  comprehensively guided by cybersecurity
  frameworks and they delineate a set of best
  practices to be followed in specific
  circumstances. Additionally, these documents
  carry response strategies for significant
  incidents like breaches, system failures, and
  compromises.
• A framework is important because it helps
  standardize service delivery across various
  companies over time and familiarizes
  terminologies, procedures, and protocols within
  an organization or across the industry.

Customized Cybersecurity Frameworks
9

• Every organization faces a unique set of
  challenges in cybersecurity. Generalized
  frameworks provide a baseline and would work most
  of the time but would not address unique
  situations and challenges. A customized framework
  would adequately address the organizations risk
  profile, business objectives, market positioning,
  and technology landscape in which the
  organization operates

How to Design a Custom Cybersecurity Framework?
11

• Based on the general cybersecurity frameworks
  discussed above, you can first prepare a skeleton
  framework and then customize it according to
  organization-specific requirements.

Steps to Build up a custom framework
13

• Assess the organizations current security needs.
  Doing a SWOT analysis would be a great start.
  Internal Strengths and Weaknesses, as well as
  external ideas and Opportunities to develop
  capabilities, would be very helpful. Finally,
  identify Threats that have the most significance
  based on public and organization-specific data.
• Identify critical assets and information which
  can impair operations in case they are affected.
• Determine the risk profile of the organization.
  For example, a high-risk organization would be a
  Financial Lending service since they operate on
  borrowed money and would require to undergo
  severe investigation before they can claim
  insurance. Similarly, a relatively low-risk
  organization would be an online news agency
  because the website data is backed up almost
  daily.
• Develop a risk management protocol. The assets
  which are critical need to be backed up over
  several locations with servers spread in distant
  geographies. Further, sensitive information like
  customer data would have to be encrypted several
  times to ensure that any attempt at data breach
  yields no result for the attacker.

Can we help?
15

• It becomes challenging, if not difficult, for
  several companies which have smaller teams to
  carry out the entire Cybersecurity Framework
  creation exercise. Further, there is always a
  need for external expertise to provide an
  alternative view of existing problems.
• Metaorange Digital can help you design
  cybersecurity frameworks with the latest security
  components, tools, and innovative strategies. A
  15-minute discovery call can help you identify
  hidden weaknesses in your systems and eliminate
  them permanently.

Conclusion
17

• Cybersecurity frameworks act as a knowledge
  repository to deal with the problems of the
  future. They can help you secure critical assets,
  deploy suitable countermeasures, and restore
  system capabilities at the earliest.
