Streamlining Cybersecurity Governance

Ambition

A renewable energy sector client needed to overhaul their information security governance structure. This initiative was to align with a company-wide reorganization and meet escalating regulatory requirements for security compliance, measurement, reporting, and oversight.

The goal was to define the corporate cyber risk appetite and manage cyber risk levels across the organization. They needed a top-down cyber mandate to cascade decisions effectively.

Solution

Kopenhagen Konsulting developed and rolled out a revised governance structure tailored to the client's specific needs, addressing both compliance requirements and strategic and operational needs.

We created various artefacts to ensure the efficient operation of the governance structure and to document decisions, actions, project statuses, risks, and other key topics.

We handled the structure's operational aspects, managing all governance board meetings until the internal team could take over. They continuously refined processes and artefacts based on lessons learned.

Outcome

We helped our client ensure that:

  • A newly designed governance structure was successfully implemented.
  • Transparency into cybersecurity activities and awareness throughout the organization was enhanced, reinforcing the mandate for cybersecurity.
  • Management reviews could now be conducted across the organization, assessing cybersecurity risks, compliance statuses, project progress, and the overall cybersecurity posture.
