Chief Information Officer and Chief Information
Security Officer
As your company's Chief Information Officer or Chief Information Security Officer, you are most concerned that governance requirements are not being well defined. There is ambiguity; there are redundancies; there are areas that are not being covered by current procedures. When this happens, risks and exposures are more likely to occur, threatening the integrity of your company's compliance efforts. Add to this the fact that you wish your IT organization could deliver information faster to executives allowing them to better evaluate company performance.
Your task is not an easy one because you are straddling two worlds – the IT world and the business world. On one hand, you are responsible for the IT infrastructure in the organization – the automated reporting, the IT staff manual activities, educating the end users on good security practices. On the other hand, you are now being increasingly expected to enforce a business application – governance -- across the entire enterprise.
These are the questions you need to ask yourself about your current governance solutions:
- Do you have an established program to establish the right "tone at the top"?
- Do you have policies in place that address the regulations your company needs to abide by?
- Can you measure your employees understanding of the policies?
- Do your employees understand protection and privacy of data?
- Can you prove that the rules are being properly followed?
- Can you prove this to external auditors?
