ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the EU-H2020 project CS-AWARE (running from 2017 to 2020) is presented. CS-AWARE proposes a cybersecurity awareness solution for local public administrations in line with the currently developing European legislatory cybersecurity framework. Starting from a requirements and situation analysis based on workshops following the soft systems methodology, Rich Pictures serve as tools for developing a core information flow model that facilitates the information collection, analysis and rendering/visualization processes. Cybersecurity affects both individuals and organisations, being one of today’s most challenging societal security problems. Next to strategic/critical infrastructures, large commercial enterprises, SMEs and also governmental or non-governmental organisations are affected. In common with the challenges faced by the NIS, GDPR compliance efforts require greater understanding of an organizations systems in order to identify and understand GDPR relevant information and information flows.
