| This template for a cybersecurity plan has at its core a modified version of the template structure suggested in the late 2018 ''Cybersecurity Strategy Development Guide'' created for the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC).<ref name="NARUCCyber18" /> While their document focuses on cybersecurity for utility cooperatives, much of what NARUC suggests can still be broadly applied to all but the tiniest of businesses. Additional resources such as AHIMA's ''AHIMA Guidelines: The Cybersecurity Plan''<ref name="DowningAHIMA17" />; National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, Cooperative Research Network's ''Guide to Developing a Cyber Security and Risk Mitigation Plan''<ref name="LebanidzeGuide11" />; and various cybersecurity experts' articles<ref name="LagoHowTo19"><ref name="NortonSimilar18"><ref name="EwingFourWays17"><ref name="KrasnowCyber17"><ref name="CopelandHowToDev18"><ref name="TalamantesDoesYour17"> have been tapped to further fill out the template.
