Take inventory of the jobs that must be completed in your security program. Identify if those jobs currently have owners or if new individuals need to be assigned. This will also help identify potential program gaps and resource needs. This template provides an organized list of categories and jobs of a typical security team in a RACI format.

Begin by taking stock of the security programs' current spending. This process will help you understand what resources the security program has available, identify potential gaps, and understand the shared budget relationship between security, Information Technology, and Engineering. This template, taken from best practices such as NIST and SANS, is a great starting point for a security program budget.
