New Policy Strengthens Resilience in Government Chains

Cybersecurity 23 January 2025

A new risk management policy for digital resilience in interdepartmental collaboration has been approved. This policy will help departments manage risks within chains, such as cyber threats, human error, and vulnerabilities in information systems. As a result, meeting objectives will be more certain. The policy is accompanied by an implementation framework and a practical guide for support. 

Chains involving multiple departments bring together numerous parties. Risks can have significant consequences for achieving shared goals. The policy outlines what administrators and line managers must do to enhance digital resilience. 

Guidance for Specialists

The implementation framework provides a step-by-step guide for specialists supporting administrators and managers. It includes clear processes, agreements, and techniques. The accompanying practical guide offers inspiration through real-world examples. 

How to get started

The Digital Resilience Risk Management Framework provides tools for anyone involved in a cross-departmental chain. These 3 steps will help you get started: 

  1. View risk management as a tool to achieve your goals with more certainty. 
  2. Read and understand the policy and implementation framework to get an overview. It takes little time but provides valuable insights. 
  3. Contact your Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for questions or advice. 

Mandatory policy for departments

Compliance with the policy and implementation framework is mandatory for departments. It is strongly recommended for connected implementing organizations.
