Cybersecurity Program A critical component for companies competing in today’s market is to leverage information technology systems to maximize production efficiency while effectively controlling and securing their informational assets. The technology landscape is rapidly changing with the introduction of cloud computing, mobile technology, open source development, software-as-a-solution, social media, etc. As a result, companies need to evolve their security and control frameworks to meet the changing landscape. To assist our clients in defining appropriate security practices or assessing existing control structures, Plante Moran has developed a range of cybersecurity services to assist our clients’ obligations to protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of their information and IT assets, as well as compliance with various security and privacy regulations. Our services take into account various regulatory requirements, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX 404), and map out a service delivery approach that reduces the overlap between these regulatory requirements and the various cybersecurity needs of our clients. It is also derived from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework, Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT), and International Organization for Standardization (ISO 27001 series) of cybersecurity control standards.

These security control standards are a guideline for organizations that have a desire to focus on information and cybersecurity. 2 .

Systems Development Incident Response User Training AVA I LA B I LI T Y PROCESS Leadership Security Officials Employees Customers Other Entities Contractors Vendors Consultants INTEGRITY CON F I D E N T I A LI T Y PEOPLE AT IO Organizations value and view cybersecurity, risk, and control differently. Some of these differences are related to risk and threat profiles impacting an organization based on factors such as industry, location, product/services, etc. Some differences are related to management’s view of or commitment to security and some are based on organizational experience with prior security incidents. By focusing on three major considerations for effective cybersecurity implementations — people, process, and technology — our methodology is flexible enough to assist our clients, regardless of management’s understanding, interpretation of risk, or existing corporate culture. 3 . Cybersecurity Process Controls over people, process, & technology. People Process Technology 4 Cybersecurity includes the application of administrative, technical, and physical controls in an effort to protect against threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of company information. Because of the pervasive use and integration of technology throughout organizations today, those threats affect more than just IT, they affect the whole business. With that in mind, an organization-wide security strategy, including cybersecurity awareness and active involvement by internal audit, is essential for the successful implementation of an organization-wide cybersecurity framework. Our services consider the integration of people, process, and technology as essential when providing our clients with comprehensive cybersecurity solutions. . People Process Technology The “people” component of cybersecurity includes end users, members of IT who monitor and administer security for the organization, the organization’s management team that has overall responsibility for cybersecurity, and third parties who have access (in different forms) to organizational data. The end users include employees, contractors, or consultants who access internal information systems and customers who access online information systems. In simple terms, “people” includes anyone who accesses organizational information systems or data. The “people” effectively execute the processes (i.e., security awareness, proper usage of systems, clean work area, etc.). People Process Technology The “process” component involves the overall cybersecurity governance model and the processes developed to manage various aspects of security (i.e., physical and logical security, user access management, password management, BCP/ DRP, change management, systems development, incident response, and user awareness training).

Importance is placed on the effectiveness of the process as designed and not just the documentation of the process. As security evolves, so too should the “process” for managing risk. People Process Technology The “technology” component includes security software and hardware that are deployed to manage cybersecurity. The “technology” component of security is constantly evolving as new technologies are implemented and security software and hardware become available, such as encryption, bio-metrics, mobile security, etc.

The “technology,” if properly implemented, enhances the effectiveness of both the “people” and the “process” which guide their security activities. By focusing on people, process, and technology, our approach provides clients with a greater understanding of how cybersecurity threats might affect their organizations and a clear view of the design and effectiveness of the technical, administrative, and physical controls implemented to protect against these threats. 5 .
