The Cyber Resilience Policy serves as a fundamental governance document for organizations operating in South Africa's increasingly complex digital landscape. This policy type has become essential due to rising cyber threats and stringent regulatory requirements, particularly under POPIA and the Cybercrimes Act. The document is typically implemented when organizations need to establish or update their cybersecurity framework, ensure regulatory compliance, or respond to evolving digital threats. A Cyber Resilience Policy includes comprehensive guidelines for risk management, incident response, data protection, and business continuity, making it crucial for organizations of all sizes. The policy should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the threat landscape, technological advancements, and regulatory requirements in the South African context.
