Is your CEO ignoring their cyber security responsibilities?
CEOs and boards are responsible for the overall direction and governance of an organisation. This covers every aspect of the organisation, from the business model to the marketing plan, to brand awareness and conformity with law and regulations.
Somehow, it seems, cyber security – now an issue of critical importance to all organisations – is being overlooked.
PwC’s Global State of Information Security Survey 2015 found that 58% of boards were uninvolved in the overall security strategy, with 75% playing no part in reviewing security and privacy risks.
