Cybersecurity internal controls impact all business units in a department and every employee. Leadership and managers must assign appropriate staff at all levels of the organization to ensure compliance with required cybersecurity and data protection internal controls.  

 Cybersecurity internal controls require collaboration across the organization including IT, HR, Legal, Policy, Fiscal, Budget, Payroll, Program and Operations staff and extend to any contractor or 3rd party supporting operations. 

Action Steps

Ensure that Leadership has specifically assigned staff at all levels of the organization (IT, HR, Legal, Policy, Finance, Budget, Payroll, Program, and Operations staff) to meet the required cybersecurity and data protection internal controls.
