Question: The objective is to point out why cybersecurity is important, and why this model is important:
First, the organization has to acknowledge that the risk is there, that it is real, and that it affects the particular organization. (Acknowledge/Assess Risks and Outline Solutions.)
Second, resources must be provided to develop standards and procedures for a commercially reasonable cybersecurity program. (Develop the Program)
Third, based on the standards and procedures you've built, you have to be certain that they have actually been implemented. (Implement and Audit the Program)
Finally, based on monitoring the technology environment and the organization's particular need, the organization has to update its cybersecurity as threats/risks are recognized and as the organization evolves its business models. (Monitor the Environment and Apply Lessons Learned)
The paper should be written for your CEO, an executive who is not a technical or cyber specialist and is also not an attorney. Arguments should be persuasive, but realistic in terms of what you're recommending relative to the resources that would be required. Making recommendations which are clearly impractical is not encouraged.
