Governance
Structure
The incredibly complex challenges inherent to cybersecurity require a whole- of-nation
approach guided by multiple agencies, partners and stakeholders . A Governance structure,
therefore, is needed for the identification of roles and responsibilities and overall responsibility
for the implementation of the areas of priorities identified in this document, as well as related
national cybersecurity initiatives. This Strategy recognizes the need to take into account existing
governance frameworks, for example, in relation to the areas identified that may require legislative
changes, the responsible institutional actors will prepare and submit accordingly (i.e. the Office of
the Attorney General and Office of the Solicitor General respectively).
It is essential in this regard to consider who will manage inter-institutional relationships, act as a
national and international point of contact, communicate and provide an advisory role in general
regulations, follow-up and evaluation of measures. As such this Strategy recommends, that a
National Cybersecurity Coordinator, under the auspices of the Ministry of National Security be
appointed for the coordination of the implementation of actions identified in this Strategy. As
a consultative body, the Inter-institutional Cybersecurity Task Force that was established for the
development of the Strategy, should also be called upon on a periodic basis to provide advice on
the areas of priorities identified in relation to their primary areas of responsibilities.
Evaluation and Review
Finally, metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the objectives and
activities articulated
in this
Strategy are needed and as such an evaluation of the Strategy will be undertaken eighteen (18)
months after its approval.
