A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is reviewing the results of a gap analysis with an outside cybersecurity consultant. The gap analysis reviewed all procedural and technical controls and found the following:
✑ High-impact controls implemented: 6 out of 10
✑ Medium-impact controls implemented: 409 out of 472
✑ Low-impact controls implemented: 97 out of 1000
The report includes a cost-benefit analysis for each control gap. The analysis yielded the following information:
✑ Average high-impact control implementation cost: $15,000; Probable ALE for each high-impact control gap: $95,000
✑ Average medium-impact control implementation cost: $6,250; Probable ALE for each medium-impact control gap: $11,000
Due to the technical construction and configuration of the corporate enterprise, slightly more than 50% of the medium-impact controls will take two years to fully implement. Which of the following conclusions could the CISO draw from the analysis?
