The appointment of a Chief Information Security Officer is essential to ensure the alignment of security measures with enterprise and business objectives. It is also essential to ensure all information assets are fully protected and that the organisation meets its legal and regulatory cyber security obligations
Unfortunately, board-level CISOs are difficult to find due to their highly specialised skillset, knowledge, and experience. They are a scarce commodity and require considerable investment in the form of an expansive hiring process and their subsequent salary and benefits package.
