From Reactive Defense to Proactive Prevention: Easy Risk Assessment and Auditing of Critical Infrastructure Ordinances with KnowBe4

With Hong KongProtection of Critical Infrastructure (Computer Systems) OrdinanceCISOs and risk managers are under pressure to comply with Section 24 (Annual Risk Assessment) and Section 25 (Bi-Annual Security Audit). The traditional "vulnerability scanning" assessment is no longer sufficient, because 80% Safety Incidents Caused by Human FactorsThe

KnowBe4 helps organizations to incorporate human risk into their compliance system, so that assessments can be based on data and audits can be supported by evidence.

I. Article 24 "Risk Assessment" - Speaking with data, no more guessing

Conventional assessments often overlook the safety awareness of employees, resulting in risk gaps.
  • Baseline Testing: Prior to the assessment, a company-wide field test is conducted by simulating phishing emails (e.g. fake remittances, fake system notifications) to obtain a true Phish-prone Percentage.

  • Dynamic Rating: The system dynamically calculates risk scores based on employee clicking behavior, training completion and reporting rates.

  • Compliance Advantage: Translating the "likelihood of man-made threats" into quantifiable, real-world data satisfies the requirements of Section 24 for risk identification and continuous monitoring.

II: Article 25 "Security Audit" - Proving Controls Work in the Field

Auditors look not only at the documentation, but also at "whether the controls are actually working".
  • Ongoing Validation: Regular social engineering tests (weekly/monthly) are the best "control tests".
  • Complete Evidence Link: The system automatically records test content, click-through rate, report rate and improvement trend.
  • Compliance Advantage: Demonstrate to the auditor a dynamic, validated security management program, not just a static document with a signed acknowledgement.

Report automation - one-click export, save time and effort

The most time-consuming part of the annual assessment is the data integration, KnowBe4 provides 60+ report templates:

  • One-click export: Covers management dashboards, detailed risk assessments and departmental analysis in direct support of compliance documentation.

  • Legal shields: Complete training and testing records are the best legal weapon to prove that a business has "Due Diligence" (DD).

Client Side: Overall Improvement of Delivery Quality

Stable and consistent detection accuracy is a direct result:

  • Reduced return rate
  • Reduced risk of outflow of defective products

with respect to Regulatory, Medical The competitive advantage is particularly clear for customers with high standards.

KnowBe4 Helps to Address Compliance Challenges of Hong Kong's CISO Ordinance

KnowBe4 provides a simplified solution for enterprises to cope with the Hong Kong Critical Infrastructure Protection Ordinance (CIPO). Faced with the stringent challenges of Sections 24 and 25, KnowBe4 transforms the difficult-to-quantify "man-made risks" into traceable, real-world data that not only bridges the blind spots of traditional assessments, but also provides hard evidence of "effective operation" of controls for annual audits. Through automated reporting and continuous rehearsal, organizations can easily meet regulatory requirements while significantly reducing security risks, realizing the critical transition from "passive compliance" to "active defense.

[Hongke Insights] Plug the Gaps Before Deploying AI: Minimize Data Breach Risks with “Real-Time Monitoring + Access Control”​

As generative AI and AI agents are widely adopted in enterprises, behaviors such as prompt injection, over-agency, and unintentional data leaks by employees continue to amplify data leakage and compliance risks, creating an urgent need for proactive security solutions. This article leverages the Lepide Data Security Platform to build a comprehensive protection system centered on “pre-deployment governance + in-operation monitoring.” Through real-time sensitive data monitoring, fine-grained permission controls, end-to-end auditing, and automated incident response capabilities, it can integrate with SIEM and SOAR systems to form a closed-loop risk management system. The platform automatically consolidates excessive permissions, and abnormal behavior triggers rapid response measures such as account freezing and system isolation. This addresses the challenges of excessive AI permissions and confidential data leaks while meeting compliance requirements under regulations such as GDPR, thereby establishing a robust data security defense for enterprises implementing AI.
