Recommendations

Concurrent with developing any changes to the cyber security inspection program, use the Strategic Workforce Planning initiative to identify critical skill gap and closure strategies for future cyber security inspection staffing, such as:
a)Hiring flexibilities,
b)Internal rotations,
c)Competency modeling,
d)Availability of outside training and continuous training, and
e)Appropriate numbers and roles of staff.

Use the results of operating experience and discussions with industry to develop and implement suitable cyber security performance measure(s) (e.g. testing, analysis of logs, etc.) by which licensees can demonstrate sustained program effectiveness.
