FAQs

What is information security governance?

Security governance is the framework that defines how security is organized, managed, and controlled in the company. It includes: security policies, organization (CISO roles, committees), risk management processes, and reporting mechanisms to management.

What is the difference between governance and security compliance?

Governance defines the 'how' - internal organization and rules. Compliance verifies adherence to external requirements (laws, standards). Good governance facilitates compliance by integrating regulatory requirements into daily processes.

How long does it take to implement security governance?

An initial governance framework can be defined in 4-6 weeks. Full deployment (training, process adoption) takes 3-6 months. We recommend an iterative approach: start with critical elements, then gradually expand.

What frameworks do you use for governance?

We rely on recognized frameworks: ISO 27001 for ISMS, NIST CSF for security posture, COBIT for IT/Business alignment, and sector frameworks (PCI DSS, HDS, DORA). We adapt these frameworks to your specific context.
