The cybersecurity policy is reviewed and updated to reflect changes in requirements, threats, and technology

Implementation steps

1. 1

   Schedule an annual policy review

   Put a recurring calendar event on the security owner's calendar to review the cybersecurity policy at least once per year. Also trigger an out-of-cycle review whenever there is a significant change: a major cloud migration, a regulatory update, a significant incident, or a merger or acquisition.

2. 2

   Review against current threats, regulations, and technology

   During each review, compare the policy against: current threat intelligence, any new regulatory requirements that apply to your industry, recent changes to your technology stack, and lessons from incidents or near-misses in the past year. Document what changed and why.

3. 3

   Publish the updated policy and re-communicate to employees

   When changes are made, update the version number and approval date, get re-approval from the executive owner, publish the revised document, and notify employees of material changes. For significant rewrites, require re-acknowledgment from all employees.
