Question 1 of 30
PharmaCorp Global, a multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in Switzerland, is undergoing a merger with BioSolutions Inc., a biotechnology firm based in the United States. Both companies have established cybersecurity frameworks, but they differ significantly in their risk assessment methodologies, security controls, and incident response protocols. As the lead implementer responsible for aligning the cybersecurity practices of the merged entity, you are tasked with ensuring compliance with ISO 27032:2012 guidelines. Considering the complexities of integrating diverse systems, data protection laws in different jurisdictions (e.g., GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California), and the need to maintain business continuity during the transition, what is the MOST effective approach to harmonize the cybersecurity frameworks of PharmaCorp Global and BioSolutions Inc. while adhering to ISO 27032 principles?
Conduct a thorough gap analysis of the existing cybersecurity frameworks of both companies, perform a collaborative risk assessment involving stakeholders from both organizations to identify critical assets and vulnerabilities, establish a unified cybersecurity governance structure, and develop a comprehensive incident response plan that integrates elements from both legacy systems, ensuring alignment with relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
Adopt the cybersecurity framework of the larger entity, PharmaCorp Global, and mandate BioSolutions Inc. to migrate its systems and data to align with the established protocols, focusing primarily on technical controls and infrastructure consolidation to minimize disruption during the merger.
Outsource the cybersecurity integration process to a third-party consulting firm specializing in pharmaceutical cybersecurity, delegating the responsibility for risk assessment, control implementation, and incident response planning while focusing on cost-effectiveness and rapid deployment.
Implement a temporary cybersecurity overlay that bridges the existing frameworks of both companies, prioritizing immediate operational needs and deferring the comprehensive integration of risk assessment methodologies, security controls, and incident response protocols until after the merger is fully completed.
