Information security is one of the top concerns for business 
organizations, as research suggests that cyber-attacks are launched 
2,244 times a day – that is every 39 seconds.
A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is accountable for 
instituting security policy & assuring data assets are protected.
What are the responsibilities of a Chief Information Security 
Officer?
A CISO’s responsibilities can spread across the following functional 
realms of the business:
End-to-End Security Operations:
A Chief Information Security Officer should have a say to the design 
& approval of a complete security policy. The policy will account for 
the end-to-end lifespan of information security operations, including:
• Appraising the IT threat landscape
• Planning out policy & controls to decrease risk
• Leading auditing & compliance programs
Compliance:
The Chief Information Security Officer should make sure that their 
business is flexible to developing compliance regulations. This is 
particularly vital for international businesses that must meet an array 
of diverse regulations. The CISO devises the requirements for all 
involved parties & coordinates with the data protections programs in 
compliance with these requirements according to the enforceable 
regulations.
Disaster recovery & business continuity:
The CISO is accountable for resilience against cyber attacks. Cyber 
resilience is not all about preventing & protecting against information 
security attacks, but recovering fast from security breaches as well. 
This is attained by instituting a solid emergency communication 
channel, disaster recovery & risk management system. Each security 
infringement occurrence & response activity must be examined. 
Hereof, the CISO is accountable for assessing incidents & devising 
perfection to the response policy.
Stakeholder On boarding:
Security proposals usually need considerable monetary & workflow 
resources, which can appear as a contradictory goal against 
stakeholders ensuing highest business returns. 
In small companies, these accountabilities of a Chief Information 
Security Office can be allocated to a part time CISO rather than 
creating a separate CISO position. These individuals are accountable 
for piloting security well ahead of possible security incidents and 
embrace new digital transformation initiatives. They need to be 
aware of their organization’s security weakness and strength, and 
help it adjust prior to a security incident can prompt any considerable 
damage.
