The chief information security officer (CISO) is the organization’s senior-level executive responsible for establishing and maintaining the enterprise vision, strategy, and program to ensure information assets and technologies are adequately protected and in accordance with the organization’s business strategy.
The CISO directs staff in identifying, developing, implementing, and maintaining processes across the enterprise to reduce information and IT risks and effectively communicating the organizational security posture status to the management.
The CISO’s main concern is to assure senior management awareness to business risks manifested through information infrastructure and applying proper controls to dial the business risks to the organization’s risk appetite as set by the senior management and board.
Rather than directly employing a CISO in your organization, we offer CISOaaS – CISO as a service or VCISO – Virtual CISO service.
