Stafford’s Law

Stafford’s Law states that the size of a company's security team should be proportional to the value of its information assets. In other words, the more sensitive or valuable the data an organization holds, the larger and more capable its security team should be to protect that data effectively. This principle helps ensure resources are appropriately allocated to manage and mitigate cyber risks, balancing security measures with the organization's overall needs and risk exposure.
