ITSPO with an early stage program • Insider Risk professionl with mature program

Building from the ground up or refining a well-established program – what are the achievable next steps to impress DCSA and your leadership?

Not all insider threat programs start at the same level. Some operate with limited resources and early-stage leadership buy-in, while others are mature, well-funded, and fully integrated into business operations. But regardless of where you are, the challenge remains the same: ensuring compliance while improving effectiveness at a realistic pace with outcomes that resonate with leadership and DCSA.

This moderated discussion brings together two security/insider threat professionals who’ve had success but from different perspectives—one from a more resource-constrained organization that has earned high marks from DCSA despite limited maturity, and another from a large, well-established program.

You will learn:

  • What DCSA looks for in inspections and how to stand out—even in an early-stage program.
  • The small, practical steps that strengthen an insider threat program without requiring major resources.
  • How mature programs continue evolving to address emerging insider threats and shifting oversight. 

Key Takeaways

For Early-Stage Programs: Practical Steps to Make an Immediate Impact

  • How to meet compliance expectations while showing DCSA measurable progress.
  • Tactical improvements that increase program effectiveness without significant funding or buy-in.
  • How to use early insider threat wins to engage leadership and build momentum.

For More Advanced Programs: Continuous Improvement & Long-Term Success

  • How mature programs evolve to stay ahead of emerging insider threats.
  • What top-tier programs do to strengthen collaboration across business functions.
  • How to demonstrate and measure insider threat program success for continued executive support.
