Annual Security Program
Plan, Execute, Improve—Your Year-Round Security Strategy.
What It Is and Why It’s Important
An Annual Security Program is a comprehensive, year-round cybersecurity strategy designed to ensure continuous improvement, compliance, and resilience. It outlines scheduled assessments, training, policy updates, and compliance audits tailored to the organization’s size, industry, and risk environment. For UAE clients, this program ensures alignment with local regulations like ADHICS and NESA while proactively addressing emerging threats.
Without a structured program, organizations risk falling behind on critical security updates, staff awareness, and regulatory requirements, increasing vulnerability.
Common Mistakes or Gaps Organizations Make
- Viewing cybersecurity as a one-off effort rather than a continuous process.
- Lack of coordination leading to scattered or duplicated security activities.
- Inadequate budgeting, resulting in postponed or skipped assessments.
- Failure to update policies in line with new laws or technologies.
- Limited employee engagement and training frequency.
