5 things you need to know about the new version of ISO 27001
Changes to the standard are significant. Therefore, performing a gap analysis against the new ISO 27001 version will help you understand where you are in your organisation's cyber maturity journey. Creating your Cyber Strategic roadmap is crucial to address this transition.

Partnering with the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, we devised a novel Cyber Risk method combining FAIR, MITRE, OCTAVE, CMMC, NIST CSF, and NIST SP 800-53 frameworks.
The main objective is to provide CISOs with a concise and express control impact prioritization strategy for Cyber Risks. CISOs will optimize their security strategy based on their custom main constraints (e.g. budget, risks, compliance requirements, threat environment). CISOs will also be able to quickly justify their budget and investments to executives.
Working with Prof. Alessandro Acquisti we researched how data breaches affect users' and organizations' security and privacy. Our main objective was to verify the existence of the gap and gauge it by analyzing subjects' privacy awareness, behavior, and attitude discrepancies.
The project goal is to improve the usability of well-known information risk frameworks. Focusing on how to build security management systems based on a maturity model that centralizes the requirements and guidelines of risk frameworks. During the 2020 fall semester, I worked with a CMU advisor within an independent study to devise a Unified Cyber Risk Maturity Model.
