What does the Insider Threat Program: A Complete Guide include?
The Insider Threat Program: A Complete Guide - 2019 Edition includes over 60 downloadable files delivered by email within 24 business hours, comprising PDF guides, XLSX spreadsheets, dashboards, self-assessment tools, and implementation playbooks. Key components include a 600+ question maturity assessment across 12 domains, a 90-day roadmap, an incident response runbook, NIST and ISO alignment matrices, RACI templates, and dynamic Excel dashboards for risk prioritisation and performance tracking.
Without a mature Insider Threat Program, your organisation risks undetected data exfiltration, sabotage, or credential misuse by insiders, employees, contractors or third parties with authorised access, leading to regulatory fines, failed audits, irreversible reputational damage, and lost client trust. High-profile breaches increasingly stem not from external hackers, but from internal threats slipping through fragmented policies, inconsistent monitoring, and reactive incident response. The Insider Threat Program: A Complete Guide - 2019 Edition is the definitive self-service resource for building, assessing, and maturing a robust, standards-aligned insider threat capability. This 60+ file digital playbook equips you with everything needed to establish proactive detection, defensible governance, and rapid incident response in alignment with NIST SP 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, CERT CIRT, and ISO/IEC 27002:2013 frameworks, ensuring compliance readiness, operational resilience, and audit success.

How This Helps You
You gain the ability to rapidly assess, design, and operationalise a defensible insider threat program that meets global standards and withstands external scrutiny. With the included maturity assessment, you can pinpoint high-risk gaps in monitoring or response protocols before they result in a breach. The dynamic prioritisation dashboard (XLSX) enables you to focus remediation on high-impact, feasible actions, reducing time-to-value from months to weeks. By implementing the step-by-step playbooks, you eliminate guesswork in forming cross-functional triage teams, deploying user behaviour analytics, or launching awareness campaigns. Without this resource, organisations risk relying on siloed tools, inconsistent policies, and reactive responses, leaving them vulnerable to audit failures, regulatory penalties under GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA, and irreversible brand damage from preventable incidents. With it, you demonstrate due diligence, strengthen governance, and build a culture of accountability, transforming insider risk from a liability into a managed capability.
