Implement the risk management plan, including measures such as increased network security, employee training, and incident response procedures.

Monitor the effectiveness of the risk management plan and make adjustments as necessary to ensure continued protection against cyber attacks.

Communicate regularly with the client to provide updates on the risk management efforts and any changes in the risk profile.

Conduct regular reviews of the risk management plan to ensure that it remains up-to-date and effective against emerging threats in the cybersecurity landscape.

Identify potential risk transfer options such as cyber insurance, and work with the client to evaluate the feasibility of such options.
