Mission, combined with vision and strategy, is the most important tool in leading a decentralized security program. Many struggle to create and explain an information security strategy because it is different from business or IT strategy. Traditional SWOT doesn't fit security well; a threat and constraints analysis framework works better. Layering a strategic philosophy over a matrix based on the NIST CSF creates a framework for understanding the value of security investments and a way to communicate to senior leaders. A security strategy provides alignment across decentralized organizations.
