Major elements of an Infosec program:


A well-designed SMP consists of multiple elements interrelated to each other.
These elements are so that any of them can’t function properly without the other.
Elements, Their Purposes, and Their Importance to NoMax:
Element Purpose Importance to NoMax
Governance Framework Maintains policy, Ensures coordination
regulates other elements among the company’s
goals, resources, and
activities
Risk Management To identify possible The manufacturing and
threats and plan to delivery process remains
manage the existing ones protected despite any
threats
Access Control policies Manages access to Valuable data like
sensitive information research data, user data,
through tiered and IP remains protected
permissions
Asset management To continuously update Control and proper plan
the register of to use critical data
information assets
Security Awareness To educate employees Common threats can be
training on possible security eliminated at the root
threats and management level
skills
Incident response To pre-plan steps or Limit damages and
training roles to be assigned ensure a rapid recovery
during a security event
Monitoring and Auditing To detect any anomalies Any fault in the system
in the system and ensure can be detected early,
compliance and necessary steps can
be taken

5. Proposed Information Security staffing Structure:


For an SMP to be well-operational, a capable team is required. A perfect staffing
structure includes:
 Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
 Two Security Analysts
 Risk and Compliance Manager
 Incident Response Specialist
 IT Auditor
6. Justification of staffing structure:
For NoMax’s SMP to be properly operational, a specialized team is required. The
CISO provides leadership in the security management team, implementing quick
decisions against the threats that NoMax may face. Security Analysts analyze the
risk level of the threat that the company is facing and suggest a solution to the
CISO. The risk manager manages governance processes for managing threats and
finding possible solutions. The IT auditor detects any anomalies in the system and
takes the necessary steps if any. Finally, the Incident Response Specialist assigns
roles to the security team for preparing NoMax against any threats or
cybersecurity incidents. As a whole, this team ensures a well-planned risk
management system for NoMax.
7. Roles and Responsibilities:
CISO: The CISO leads the SMP and makes quick decisions regarding any incidents
that occur in the organization. It makes direct governance strategies and leads in
policy development.
Security Analysts: The security Analysts monitor endpoint detection and response
platforms. They analyze the risk level of the security incidents and generate
possible responses.
Risk and Compliance Manager: The Risk and Compliance Manager manages the
necessary governance processes for managing threats and finding possible
solutions.
Incident Response Specialist: The incident response specialist manages the post-
security events, takes measures to reduce the risks associated with it to the
NoMax.
IT auditor: The IT auditor mon
itors any ongoing anomalies in the organization and takes the necessary steps if
any.
8. Governance and Integrated Risk Management:
A good governance framework must be established at NoMax to ensure the
security management plan be a cultural norm rather than a standalone function.
Governance activities should include:
 A regular board-level security meeting
 Security Risk Committees hired by the CISO
 Integration of the manufacturing team and ICT teams, to ensure the
continuity of the manufacturing process despite any security events
 Pre-planning of post-security measures
The Security maturity should be noted annually using the ISM maturity model.
This helps to study the effectiveness of the SMP and the team associated with it.
9. Implementation plan
The implementation plan of SMP consists of the following four phases each
having its respective importance in building a comprehensive SMP.
Phase Key Activities
Phase 1: Planning and Assessment Perform security audits, look for any
anomalies any and take necessary
measures
Phase 2: Policy Development Develops measures for handling
security events
Phase 3: Technology Deployment Set up the necessary security team and
embed security software in the system
Phase 4: Monitoring and Improvement Review policies regularly, and inform
the security team if the policies need
any reform or improvement
With this phased approach, NoMax can achieve its desired goal and use its
resources effectively with fewer or no disruptions due to any security issues. This
will maintain the legacy of NoMax in the competitive technology market.

10. Conclusion and Recommendations:


This SMP proposal addresses the needs of Nomax with its expanding international
market. It provides a solution for security events like the protection of critical
data, intellectual property protection, and risk management.
Key Recommendations:
Governance framework: Makes policies that help to ensure well-coordination
between the multiple elements of SMP.
Capable security team: Well-structured security staff are assigned specific roles
for minimizing the possible harm from the security events
Regular security audits: Detects any security anomalies in the system, identifies it
and informs the respective security team so that the necessary measures can be
applied.
For NoMax to be compliant with the market, this SMP can help it to do so by
specifying the company’s goals and resources. NoMax can be more secure and
can gain more trust among its clients.
