The world has changed.
I see it in the water.
I feel it in the Earth.
I smell it in the air.
Much that once was is lost,
For none now live who remember it.
― J. R. R. Tolkien
Predicting the future of the world with complete accuracy is nearly impossible. Also, there is value in forming the basis for a proactive approach to risk and information security based on identified security threats.
Business Unit’s agility calls for adaptive enterprise security principles which in turn require sound strategic information security principles to enable secure progress and innovation.
The Information Security Strategy provides the origin and baseline to which all subsequent security activities, processes, and measures are linked back and will balance the security effort with business goals and the control of risk within the Company.
The security strategy provides the company insight into our existing security challenges and looks ahead to emerging information security threats to formulate strategic security principles aligned with our business strategy.
These principles are considered the baseline from which all subsequent security activities, processes, and measures originate. This will allow for a solid foundation of control, minimize the element of surprise when a threat manifests itself and enable a reasoned response that was considered ahead of time.
Information Security Strategy Management is critical for each company to realize its strategy, initiatives, and targets. As a result, Information Security Strategy Management is important if it ensures the Companies achieve their goals. It is well-positioned to succeed and it is resilient to the unexpected events caused by sophisticated cyberattacks.
To achieve this goal; Information Security Management must be fully incorporated into the business processes for information confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The comprehensive controls of this strategy and the coverage of current and emerging information security issues enable the Companies to respond to the rapid pace at that threats, technology, and risks evolve. Thus, the ways and methods to be followed in the management of the Information Security Strategy Management
process have been revealed.
The Strategy; aims to balance the analysis, management, and assessment of information systems risks with the business objectives and controls within the Company. In addition, data security also aims to make and evaluate analyses within the scope of legal obligations and to include them in the risk management process.
During the production, development, and digitization of the Company’s high-quality products and
services; it is aimed to operate the Security Strategy processes at the best level and to support the
company’s goals. In this context;
- Building a realistic and proactive Information Security Management process,
- To make the maximum contribution to the construction of a robust Information Security environment with a focus on Information Security,
- Creating and developing Security processes to meet information security, data security, and legal requirements,
- Acting jointly with stakeholders within the scope of Information Security Management

Four Security Principles for Strategy
Security starts at the beginning of everything that we do. It is not just a Security Team task and needs to be designed and executed End to End (E2E).
- Security by Design: Secure design of business processes, automation in IT, and by encouraging a culture of discipline, ownership, and craftsmanship in Business Units and IT.
- Executing the Control Framework based on Information Risk and Security is part of the corporate governance framework and assures us of the effectiveness of controls.
- Security in the mindset of the first line of defense, executed and budgeted risk and security in the Business Units, strengthen the Business Units to execute their security plan.
- Functional reporting lines for monitoring and assurance reporting by the CISO and the Business Units are in place.
Finally,
The most important level requirements within the scope of the strategy are as follows:
- Taking measures against new threats emerging as a result of constantly developing technology, quickly and in a way that will eliminate the risk,
- Considering data security at the highest level and taking necessary systemic measures, making investigations,
- Acting with zero trust (Zero Trust) due to the uncertainty of internal or external threats,
- Keeping the awareness of company employees or other human resources in cooperation at the highest level due to the changing information security risks,
