Abstract
The READINESS model argues there are limitations to preparation and how managers need to think beyond it to READINESS. READINESS as a model applies beyond crisis management to include risk management and other concerns. This manuscript elaborates on the relationship between preparation and READINESS by exploring the model's application to cybersecurity, an increasingly important risk. READINESS is multi-level, and cybersecurity provides an excellent mechanism for exploring the organisational level of READINESS because every employee has a responsibility for managing cybersecurity risks. The analysis sheds light on the limits of preparation that foster the need for READINESS, as well as providing insights into the nature of READINESS for cybersecurity.
