Maximizing Your Cybersecurity with a Budget

Cybersecurity Budget


Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) are at the forefront of securing an adequate budget for cybersecurity.


But, just how much do organizations need to spend on it?  


A good rule of thumb is to first assess the current state of your IT security program, that way you can identify where gaps and maturity needs to happen, and then plan and budget for those improvements and sustainment activities.


Securing a cybersecurity budget requires your leadership team to show how resources will be allocated and it starts with these 4 main components to be considered in your budget:

  1. People.  Cybersecurity staffing and compensation make up the largest portion of a security budget so implementing a strong IT security plan means securing a safe environment for your employees.
  2. Third-party services.  Many organizations have a blend of in-house and outsourced cybersecurity functions so you can focus on high-level.
  3. Tools.  Organizations need cybersecurity tools to protect sensitive data, detect cyberthreats, and manage incident response on a regular basis.
  4. Compliance.  Governance, risk, and compliance spending can be an important component of cybersecurity, particularly in highly regulated industries.

Successfully securing a cybersecurity budget is about building relationships. CISOs, or any other cybersecurity leader spearheading the budgeting process, needs to be able to communicate the risks, and how they tie to the organization’s overall success.
