Episode 78 — Cyber and Information Security Risk for PMs

Digital assets and data flows create vulnerabilities every project manager must understand. This episode outlines how to identify and treat cyber and information security risks within project scope, even when a dedicated security team exists. We define common exposures—data breach, unauthorized access, loss of confidentiality or availability—and link them to project objectives, contracts, and compliance requirements. The PMI-RMP exam increasingly includes security-related stems, testing your ability to integrate protective controls and escalation paths into standard risk governance.

We discuss practical techniques: performing simple threat modeling for sensitive data, confirming encryption and access controls in vendor deliverables, and ensuring security sign-offs appear as milestones. Best practices include assigning a security liaison as a risk owner, tracking vulnerabilities through the same register, and recording patch or audit evidence as verification artifacts. Troubleshooting guidance covers schedule pressure that bypasses reviews, unclear data-handling roles, and inadequate incident communication channels. The strongest answers link security actions to measurable reductions in exposure, proving that modern risk professionals guard information as diligently as cost or schedule.
