You use industry frameworks and/or the organization's policies, procedures and standards to determine which "key controls" (or just all controls) that need to be assessed. If you're taking it a step further for control compliance, then it will require validation and possibly testing. A 'framework' is so vague, but typically involves a charter of some sort, defining risk thresholds, risk acceptance processes, policy exceptions, etc.

How do you do it, now?

Dont reinvent the wheel. Is it a financial institution? Use FDIC intrex guidance. Not a bank? Maybe try ISACA cyber framework/cobit.

^Nope.

Consulting is fake it 'til you make it. Industry isn't. Learn all the frameworks you want, but if you're in CYBER type role, you'll need to manage and execute beyond the framework.

COBIT/NIST/ISO go study up

Concur with EY2. Also read up on the EUs newish cyber security law.

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
