Cybersecurity Meets EDRM with the Cybersecurity Reference Model
Many legal technology practitioners have great familiarity with the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), created and fostered by George Socha and Tom Gelbmann. The model allows attorneys and those who support them to use a common lexicon while wrestling with the complex issues and tasks associated with the discovery process. As the legal technology industry moves deeper into commoditization, new skills, knowledge bases and technology related to security and privacy outside the traditional EDRM will increasingly become the focal point for professional development.
The EDRM certainly speaks to professional skills needed along a temporal framework; however, at its core, the EDRM is an organizational cost -based approach to discovery. The Cybersecurity Framework, based upon much of the NIST standard, is an excellent resource for the cybersecurity process prior to discovery, but is truly a risk -based approach to information protection, showing discrete steps in the information security process.
The TRU Cybersecurity Reference Model (CSRM), below, is a deliberate skills-based guide to the myriad of technical functions and job responsibilities that exist throughout the cyber continuum. The CSRM gives clarity to what skills are required throughout the information security life cycle and will be a reference to discuss what stages of the model are in high growth and demand. TRU's CSRM has six primary stages: 1) technology inventory; 2) assess; 3) compliance and governance; 4) security architecture and systems; 5) monitor; and 6) respond.
