Practices

- Ongoing Education: Hold frequent training sessions to keep the staff informed about the most recent security procedures and dangers.
- Effectiveness: Test the organisation’s reaction to security breaches by using simulated cyberattacks.
- Policy Accessibility: Ensure that all security policies are always readily available to staff members.
Resources
