Recommendation 8

Recommendation 8 advises that organizations adopt a structured, risk-based approach to managing their information security. This means they should identify what sensitive data they handle, assess potential threats and vulnerabilities, and then prioritize security efforts accordingly. By focusing resources on the most critical areas, organizations can better protect their information assets against cyber threats and reduce the likelihood of data breaches. This approach ensures that security measures are efficient and effective, aligning efforts with the specific risks faced by the organization.
