From Risk Analysis to Security Roadmap: Steering Security Measures Strategically
Organizations face the challenge of selecting the right security measures from hundreds of options — and implementing them in the right order. Without a strategic framework, siloed solutions emerge that consume budgets without measurably reducing risk. ADVISORI develops an IT security strategy with you that answers three questions: Which measures protect most effectively?
Our expert consultants provide comprehensive security measures services tailored to your organization's specific needs. We combine deep regulatory expertise with practical implementation experience to deliver measurable results.

4 QUESTIONS, BRIEFLY ANSWERED
Frequently asked questions about Prioritization of Security Measures
What are technical and organizational measures (TOMs)?
TOMs are all protective measures for information security and data protection. Technical measures include firewalls, encryption, MFA, SIEM, and endpoint protection. Organizational measures include policies, processes, training, role concepts, and incident response plans. Both the GDPR (Art. 32) and ISO 27001 require an appropriate set of TOMs.
How many measures does ISO 27001 define?
ISO 27001:2022 Annex A contains 93 controls in four categories: 37 organizational (A.5), 8 people-related (A.6), 14 physical (A.7), and 34 technological (A.8). Not all are relevant for every organization — the risk analysis determines applicability. In the Statement of Applicability (SoA), you document which controls you implement and why.
How do you prioritize security measures?
Through a combination of risk reduction, implementation effort, and regulatory obligation. Quick wins such as MFA rollout or patch management come first. Strategic measures such as SIEM deployment or network segmentation follow in phases. ADVISORI creates a prioritized action plan with a cost-benefit assessment.
How do you demonstrate the effectiveness of measures?
Through KPIs (e.g., patch rate >95%, phishing click rate <5%), regular internal audits, penetration tests, phishing simulations, and management reviews. ISO 27001 explicitly requires evidence of the effectiveness of all implemented controls. ADVISORI supports you in building a systematic effectiveness evidence framework.
