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).

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.
