Overview

What Is The Security, Compliance & Resilience Program (SCRP)?

The Security, Compliance & Resilience Program (SCRP) has complete coverage for the Secure Controls Framework (SCF). The SCRP is an enterprise-class solution for cybersecurity & data privacy documentation consisting of thirty-four (34) domains that defines a modern, digital security program. Specifically:

Policies have 1-1 coverage for each SCF domain
Control objectives have 1-1 coverage for each SCF control
Standards have 1-1 coverage for each SCF control
Guidelines have 1-1 coverage for each SCF control
Controls (Secure Controls Framework)
Metrics (Cybersecurity Metrics Reporting Model)

The SCRP leverages the Secure Controls Framework (SCF), which is a metaframework that maps to over 200 cybersecurity & data privacy laws, regulations and frameworks. The SCF's integration into the SCRP provides mapped risks, threats, maturity criteria and much more to make it the most robust solution on the market!

The SCRP's policies & standards have direct, 1-1 mapping to the SCF's controls. The SCRP leverages several key SCF components to provide “more than just policies & standards” by incorporating maturity criteria, a threat catalog, a risk catalog and more!

What Problems Are THere?

What Problems Does The SCF Policies & Standards Template Solve?

Lack of In House Security Experience

Writing security documentation is a skill that many good cybersecurity professionals simply are not proficient at and avoid the task at all cost. Tasking your security analysts and engineers to write comprehensive documentation means you are actively taking them away from protecting and defending your network, which is not a wise use of their time. The SCRP is an efficient method to obtain comprehensive security policies, standards, controls and metrics for your organization!

Compliance Requirements

Nearly every organization, regardless of industry, is required to have formally-documented security policies and standards. Requirements range from PCI DSS to HIPAA to NIST 800-171. The SCRP is designed with compliance in mind, since it focuses on leading security frameworks to address reasonably-expected security requirements.

Audit Failures

Security documentation does not age gracefully like a fine wine. Outdated documentation leads to gaps that expose organizations to audit failures and system compromises. The SCRP's standards provides mapping to leading security frameworks to show you exactly what is required to both stay secure and compliant.

Vendor Requirements

It is very common for clients and partners to request evidence of a security program and this includes policies and standards. The SCRP provides this evidence!

What Solutions Does It Provide?

How Does The SCRP Solve These Problems?

The SCRP is built for organizations facing complex compliance requirements that benefit from the SCF's metaframework approach.

Clear Documentation

The SCRP provides comprehensive documentation to prove that your security program exists. This equates to a time saving of hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars in staff and consultant expenses!

Time Savings

The SCRP can provide your organization with a semi-customized solution that requires minimal resources to fine tune for your organization's specific needs.

Alignment With Leading Practices

The SCRP is written to support over two hundred laws, regulations and industry frameworks!

The SCRP and its corresponding Cybersecurity Operating Procedures (CSOP), come together to provide "premium GRC content" that enables an organization to establish or refresh its GRC practices. They cover GRC policies, GRC standards, GRC metrics and more.
