Defining and testing the minimum viable organisation: Protecting what matters most

This fireside chat explores how the concept of the Minimum Viable Organisation (MVO) can help organisations identify the critical services, processes, assets and dependencies – sometimes referred to as crown jewels – that the business simply cannot afford to lose.

Callum Moore will be joined by Nick Frost and Richard Absalom to discuss how this understanding can be translated into practical cyber security activity. The discussion will consider how bringing together MVO, crown jewels, threat insight, risk assessment and cyber exercises can create a more joined-up and business-focused approach to cyber resilience, moving away from trying to protect everything equally and towards protecting and testing what matters most.

Key takeaways:

• Explore ways to define your Minimal Viable Organisation (MVO)
• Use the MVO to create a more targeted threat profile.
• Shape realistic cyber scenario exercises that test readiness and recovery, and prioritise cyber risk assessments around the areas where disruption would have the greatest business impact.
