Cybersecurity frameworks and policies form the backbone of a resilient digital environment—but without effective implementation, they remain theoretical. This session delves into how organisations can bridge the gap between compliance and real-world defenses. It also examines why these gaps persist, highlighting broader organisational and operational challenges. Drawing from supervisory assessment findings and local case insights, the session offers practical strategies to operationalise security controls and better align with national cybersecurity priorities. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to transform frameworks into meaningful, measurable actions.
