FEATUREDDoes Your Authority Align With Your Accountability
With the enforcement of the SEC’s new cybersecurity rules, CISOs at public companies are coming to grasp with a new level of accountability than they may have faced before. The SEC’s pursuit of personal liability against the CISO of SolarWinds only heightens the level of concern. These changes to regulations are causing companies to revise their corporate governance RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) charts to reflect the new requirements.
Where SEC filings may have once been the responsibility of corporate counsel and the Chief Financial Officer, the CISO should now expect to be pulled into sharing some of the responsibility. And when things go wrong, they will still be held accountable for any gaps leading to a cybersecurity lapse.
