About the HCSK Framework

HCSK is a collaborative movement to define and share human-focused cybersecurity best practices — from onboarding to offboarding, from daily habits to crisis response.

Why a Human-Centric Framework?

• Humans are often the first line of defense — when informed and empowered.
• Most frameworks focus on systems and controls, not behavior and culture.
• We believe every team member — from HR to legal to IT — plays a vital role in security resilience.
• Security isn't just technology — it's trust, clarity, and shared responsibility.

Why Open?

• Security knowledge should be free and transparent.
• HCSK is licensed under CC-BY — anyone can adapt or improve it.
• We welcome contributors from all fields, not just cybersecurity.
• Trust is the foundation of secure organizations and societies.
