Assessing gaps in your information security against your organisation’s individualised risk profile, putting together a cyber roadmap, presenting recommendations to board executives, and overseeing the process are all valuable services a CISO can provide.
Developing organisational security policies and ensuring that necessary frameworks are met are core functions of a CISO and an important aspect of a robust security posture. Mature cybersecurity policies and compliance are necessary for risk assessors, cyber insurance readiness, and executive boards.
Any changes to your ICT environment, such as upgrades, changes to new infrastructure, or adopting cloud-based platforms require oversight by a CISO. The use of a change management process ensures that changes to systems are made in an accountable manner with appropriate consultation and approval.
