Digital transformation means that organizations must be proactive about their cybersecurity. Not only are there more ways to be attacked than ever before, but cybersecurity breaches are constantly changing and hackers are becoming more sophisticated. Without proper cybersecurity, the organization’s critical activities are at risk and the potential for reputational damage is real.
Successful cybersecurity programs include a combination of elements, including leadership buy-in, end-user training, leveraging existing tools, using multi-factor authentication, and using effective cloud security. Our report details these critical elements and provides recommended resources for improving your cybersecurity posture.
Business Continuity Planning Provides Organizational Resilience
Business Continuity Planning Provides Organizational ResilienceUnplanned disruptions can adversely affect the operations of any organization, no matter the size, putting it and its stakeholders at significant risk. Fortunately, strategic investments and scenario planning can give your organization a competitive advantage over those who are unprepared for a variety of contingencies. Business Continuity Plans (BCP) are an important part of risk management and can include scenarios such as pandemics (like COVID-19), government shutdowns, natural disasters and cyberattacks. In an era of devastating cyber breaches and unprecedented political rancor, the financial health and mission success of any organization depends on its preparation to weather almost any storm.
Remote work has exposed existing cybersecurity risks and created new ones. How is your organization responding?
In this eBook, we provide detail on 20 different cybersecurity risk categories that can impact your organization. For each risk category, we explain the potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities that exist and how to identify them in your systems.
These risks are assessed in GRF’s Cybersecurity Risk Assessment and Scorecard, a tool that provides a baseline diagnostic to help you analyze your organization’s risk and develop an appropriate compliance strategy.
You may be surprised to discover you already have the right tools – you just need to leverage them properly.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in economic uncertainty around the world. It also exposed a number of risks for historically stable and profitable businesses, ranging from early retirement of key executives to insufficient insurance coverage. Underlying risks associated with third-parties prevail today. These parties can include everyone from contractors providing janitorial services to suppliers of a critical component to your manufacturing process. Risks to third-parties are also risks to your organization. A plan for managing third party risk protects your organization from unsuspected threats and nasty surprises.
Third-party risk management (TPRM) is the process of analyzing and mitigating risks associated with parties outside your organization. Whether a third-party is part of the supply chain or an outsourced information technology services provider, organizations are increasingly implementing TPRM programs to ensure third-parties are not creating additional exposure for them. Successful outsourcing relationships with effective risk management allow the organization to safely procure goods and services and focus on their strategic objectives.

Case Study
Case StudyGRF’s Cybersecurity Scorecard Provides a Holistic Approach to Cybersecurity
A 501(c)(6) national trade association based in Washington, DC has been digitally transforming their organization proactively over the past few years. With an annual budget of $2.7 M, the organization, like many of its peers, has incorporated cutting-edge technologies into their operations in order to streamline processes and increase efficiency. Unfortunately, a greater reliance on information systems and outsourced service providers has created a new set of security and privacy concerns. Learn how the association used the GRF cybersecurity scorecard to develop a benchmark and address potential vulnerabilities and monitor its cybersecurity posture on an ongoing basis.
