CISA Releases First Installment of its ‘Cyber Essentials’ Toolkits

SRZ Private Funds Regulatory Update

July 2020

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued the first[1] of a series of six cyber essentials toolkits (“Cyber Essentials Toolkits”), as a follow-up to CISA’s November 2019 release of CISA’s Cyber Essentials. On July 1, CISA published the second toolkit on its website.[2]

The Cyber Essentials Toolkits break down the 2019 Cyber Essentials into business-friendly, bite-sized actions for IT and C-suite leaders. Fund managers should consider reviewing each chapter of the Cyber Essentials Toolkits as they are released in order to enhance their cyber readiness and to improve their internal capacity in this area.
