Aligning Security Architecture with Cyber Risk Governance

🔐 The author contends that cyber risk failures are often architectural and cultural, not purely technological, and argues for an ongoing cyber risk management process integrated with information security governance. He outlines a practical, strategic recipe—stakeholder mapping, framework selection (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001), KPIs/KRIs, asset and threat assessments, and guardrails for cloud and generative AI workloads. The piece stresses building a mature risk culture, aligning GRC with the CISO role, enforcing technical controls and secure development practices (SAST/DAST/SCA), and running tabletop exercises to improve resilience and compliance with laws such as GDPR, CCPA and LGPD.
