Most secure system disconnected from everything will also become the most useless system as well. Therefore, a closeout meeting plays a key role in the choice of the appropriate security framework for the organizations.

The meeting will help organizational stakeholders to achieve primary security goals of confidentiality, integrity, availability, and non-repudiation. Closeout meetings contribute significantly to the security planning of organizations ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a1oq2tfs2pa","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Safa, Von Solms, & Furnell, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Safa, Von Solms, & Furnell, 2016)"},"citationItems":[{"id":2037,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/gITejLE9/items/QICJW5ZM"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/gITejLE9/items/QICJW5ZM"],"itemData":{"id":2037,"type":"article-journal","title":"Information security policy compliance model in organizations","container-title":"Computers & Security","page":"70-82","volume":"56","author":[{"family":"Safa","given":"Nader Sohrabi"},{"family":"Von Solms","given":"Rossouw"},{"family":"Furnell","given":"Steven"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Safa, Von Solms, & Furnell, 2016).
