Your System Security Plan (SSP) should tell the story of your cybersecurity program, not just check a box for compliance.
Too often, organizations approach the SSP as another document they need to complete for a #CMMC assessment. But an SSP is much more than that.
A well-developed SSP brings together the people, processes, technology, and supporting documentation that make up your cybersecurity program. It explains how everything fits together to protect sensitive information.
And importantly, your SSP should reflect what you’re actually doing, not what you intend to do.
In our latest video, Optic Cyber’s Tom Conkle breaks down what an SSP is, why it matters, and how to approach developing one that serves as a useful resource beyond an assessment.
He also shares a helpful analogy for thinking about the SSP and its relationship to your broader cybersecurity program.
Whether you’re preparing for CMMC or looking to improve your security documentation, this is a good place to start.
