CISO Job Principles: What Are They?

CISO Job Principles: What Are They? As you will see, there are several roles for CISO, which involves several unique areas of the business.

It may seem quite funny, but ISO 27001 requires no organization to appoint a head of information security officer. Rather, someone to coordinate information security (e.g., security officer, security manager, etc.).

This, however,–ISO 27001 refers to organizations of any scale or sector. Therefore, it will over-commit SMEs to getting a CISO. You will read more about the functions and duties of CISO in this post.

How can CISO responsibilities be documented?

As you can see, there are several roles for CISO, which involves several unique areas of the business.

The bigger the organization, the tougher it becomes to recall these obligations. Therefore, you can create one or two papers, due to the size of your organization, detailing them. Further, in a single document certain organizations prefer to contain all the CISO’s duties. This is not very helpful. Because the task of those without the mechanism is difficult to understand.
