Who Is This For?
This resource is designed for security information governance professionals who own or influence the design, operation, or assurance of security data systems. Specific roles include: information security managers, security operations centre (SOC) leads, data protection officers, compliance analysts, IT audit managers, privacy programme leads, chief information security officers (CISOs), security governance specialists, and internal control consultants. If you are responsible for implementing, maintaining, or auditing security logging, monitoring, incident correlation, or compliance reporting frameworks, this self-assessment is your operational blueprint.
