Episode 48 — Build a strategic security roadmap that sequences wins and impact
A strategic security roadmap serves as the master plan that sequences technical and administrative initiatives to build cumulative impact and organizational momentum. This session explores how to design a multi-year timeline that prioritizes "foundational wins" early to secure the trust and resources needed for later, more complex phases. We define a roadmap as a high-level visual communication tool that aligns the security journey with the company’s broader technical and business roadmaps. For the exam, candidates should understand the importance of logical sequencing—such as ensuring a data classification project is completed before deploying an advanced data loss prevention (DLP) tool. Best practices involve scheduling regular "checkpoints" to adjust the roadmap based on emerging threats or shifts in the corporate mission. By building a structured roadmap, you provide the organization with a clear path toward a mature defensive posture that is visible, manageable, and strategically sound.
