A proposed OKR-based framework for cyber effective services in the GDPR era

Abstract

Abstract This chapter will focus on the following areas which are GDPR, data breaches, digital identity theft, and digital identity schemes. The chapter will explore each subject in detail and then examine the correlation between the four whereby cybersecurity is deemed to be the common factor. Whilst there have been numerous studies on each subject in silo, this study presents the first unique opportunity to correlate the four post GDPR. Furthermore the study sets out to understand the effectiveness of cybersecurity controls of organisations that provision services in this era, whereby a survey has correlated professionals’ attitudes to GDPR compliance and good cybersecurity practice. The study aims to influence investment decisions of executive boards with regard to their investment spend on cyber defences through the introduction of an OKR framework to effect cyber effective defences in the GDPR era.
