How Business Analysts Can Assist the CSO in Setting Up Cybersecurity: A Practical Case Study

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, cybersecurity is not just the responsibility of IT departments—it requires collaboration across various roles, including business analysis. This session offers a practical, real-world example of how a Business Analysis Professional (BA) can significantly contribute to the Chief Security Officer’s (CSO) efforts in establishing an effective cybersecurity system from the ground up.

Drawing from personal experience on a rapidly growing project, the session will provide a step-by-step breakdown of how business analysis skills were leveraged to:

• Define and implement a comprehensive information security policy.
• Develop a simple, yet effective, IT systems register to assess current systems, users, and roles.
• Design a task tracking system to streamline access requests and off-boarding processes.

Attendees will gain insights into the critical role of BAs in enhancing cybersecurity measures, learn actionable strategies, and see how BAs can facilitate collaboration across departments to ensure that cybersecurity frameworks are both robust and aligned with business objectives.

This session is ideal for business analysts seeking to expand their skill set in the cybersecurity space or for security professionals looking to understand how BAs can add value in securing digital projects.
