CY360 Effective Security Program Whitepaper

Executive Summary

A better approach is needed to protect businesses from cyber threats effectively. Too many security programs today fail to adequately protect the businesses they serve. They often introduce unnecessary complexity, impeding business instead of enabling it. In response, regulators have released directives and regulations affecting companies both in the EU and in Switzerland (NIS2, DORA, Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)), yet many organizations still struggle to incorporate such standards effectively.

We propose a real-world validated methodology that has helped dozens of organizations promote effective cybersecurity programs that fundamentally align with the businesses they protect. The CY360 approach continues to deliver strong results for our clients and by making it publicly available we hope to contribute to a more cyber-resilient world.

Organizations find CY360 valuable because it …

1. Enables business rather than blocking it

2. Breaks down complexity of modern threats using globally adopted benchmarks (e.g. NIST CSF 2.0)

3. Delivers holistic visibility to key executives

4. Optimizes cost and effectiveness through prioritized actions and quick wins

5. Transforms regulatory compliance (e.g. nDSG, DSGVO, NIS2, DORA) into strategic advantage

CY360 framework for end-to-end cybersecurity strategy and implementation
CY360 Methodology: Each component in CY360 builds on the last, with the core idea that cybersecurity is not a siloed technical function, but a critical enabler of business success. The methodology integrates cybersecurity into a cohesive cycle that is agile and business relevant.
