If you ask corporate board members and senior executives to list their number one risk (other than financial operations), the answer in today’s risk environment is clear – cybersecurity and data privacy. The rapid elevation of this risk is reflected in weekly headlines announcing ransomware, cyber-attacks and data breaches. In NAVEX’s recent State of Compliance Survey, one in three respondents indicated their company had experienced at least one attack/data breach in the last three years.

When it comes to cybersecurity and data protection, board members and senior executives have a steep learning curve – it is imperative to learn the risks, the technologies, and risk mitigation strategies. Chief Information Security Officers recognize the importance of bringing everyone up to speed and establishing a system of enterprise risk management around information technology and security.

In charting this new path, CISOs and Chief Compliance Officers are coming together in new ways. CCOs are excellent partners – CCOs have line of sight across the organization, are familiar with risk assessment principles, implement policies and procedures, and can deliver important training and education programs.

In this Episode, Michael Volkov reviews the current trends in cybersecurity and the growing relationship between CISOs and CCOs. See less -
