CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, Heads of IT and GCs, as well as C-Suite Executives and Board Members, at Public - and Privately-owned U.S. companies. This is an invitation to a high-level panel/fireside chat and Q&A session designed to deliver encouraging news to CISOs, GCs, and senior staff responsible for protecting public companies and their management. In the webinar, we'll address the needs of Boards of Directors facing regulatory liability risks under the new SEC Cyber Rule and NY DFS Second Amendment. Led by a panel of current and former CISOs, BISOs, and industry-leading cyber attorneys, this session will cover practical, commercially oriented issues to support future business growth without jargon or "in the weeds" discussions. Discover how CISOs can enhance their organizational stature by working closely with GCs to access Board/C-suite delegates, enabling a risk-focused approach to regulatory compliance and significantly minimizing senior management's regulatory liability risk exposure. Key topics will include: * Building a team to meet daily interdisciplinary regulatory and business challenges, protecting the Board and C-suite, while also safeguarding CISOs by avoiding having a “target painted on your back”. * Needing to train on how to "speak senior management" to help meet the new regulatory compliance obligations related to cyber oversight by Boards via their C-suite delegates. * Ensuring the right technology underpinnings for required annual disclosures on Form 10-K, to address cyber risk management, strategy, and governance per the company's appetite/tolerance for this part of total enterprise risk. Don't miss this opportunity to stay ahead in the ever-evolving regulatory landscape.

I was preparing new written and presentation material on the role of CISOs in corporate governance and came across this very well-written piece on Kevin LaCroix's D&O Diary Journal by Greg Markel, Giovanna (Gina) Ferrari, and Sarah Fedner at Seyfarth Shaw LLP. In today’s digital age, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) role is important and integral to corporate governance. CISOs are crucial in navigating the complex cybersecurity landscape, aligning with corporate objectives, and ensuring robust risk management practices. You must align your program with the D&O's Duties of Care, Loyalty, Duty of Care, Disclosure/Candor, and Oversight. 🚨 When you are purchasing a vendor solution, does it meet these criteria so there is no concern about wasteful spending? Here’s what every CISO should know: ⚠️ Enterprise Risk Management (ERM): CISOs are not just contributors but proactive contributors to the ERM process. They engage in risk adjudication and decision-making, going beyond just setting cybersecurity policies. 🎯 Board Communication: It is crucial to establish clear, consistent communication with the board about the health and maturity of the cybersecurity program. This fosters strong working relationships and reinforces the importance of cybersecurity. 👩🏽💼 Multifaceted Role: Modern CISOs must be more than technical specialists. They should also be effective program managers, relationship builders, culture leaders, and strategists. 🥷🏻 Compliance Expertise: It's crucial for CISOs to stay conversant with cybersecurity regulations. This ensures they can integrate compliance into security practices across the enterprise, keeping the organization updated. 🧠 Strategic Insight: Engage with the board on emerging trends and potential external partnerships that could enhance the company’s market position and competitive edge. CISOs can drive their organizations toward a secure, resilient, and strategically aligned future by focusing on these areas. #CyberSecurity #CISO #CorporateGovernance #RiskManagement #Compliance #BoardCommunication #DOCRA #DutyofCare

vCISO - Solving the most difficult challenges for businesses today, the CISO continues to be one of the most valuable and in-demand human assets that companies should be acquiring. Here are some of the skills many of you are looking for in a CISO: Strategic planning, project/program oversight, finanacial oversight, team leadership, C-level advisory, risk management, cybersecurity strategy, governance, compliance, privacy, third party vendor management, and so much more. I work with a large, global network of CISO contractors who are available for fractional work, meaning on-demand. Just 10 hours per month still gets you a resource that will make your company better. I know that doesn't sound like much time. Yet, these seasoned veterans have so much field experience, in the right ecosystem they will be one of the most efficient and productive assets you will possess. Dependent upon where you are geographically located, I may be able to provide an in-theater resource. For small and medium sized enterprise (SMB) this is a great fit for your budget and you get all those problem solving competencies you are looking for. I have been working with many of my resources for more than 10 years. And newer resources are thoroughly screened and evaluated prior to any engagement. There have been a lot of posts lately on the shortage of CISOs and the high risk problems we are all facing as business owners and leaders. This one's a big challenge. I'll solve it for you. Let's talk CISO. -- ThePhilTur #ThePhilTurSays #vCISO #chiefinformationsecurityofficer #cybersecurity #compliance #governance #privacy #cybersecuritystrategy

#GRC #Governance #RiskManagement #Compliance #BusinessStrategy #RiskMitigation #cybersecurity 🚀 Elevate Your Business with #GRC: Navigating Today's Challenges 🚀 Did you know that GRC (#Governance, #Risk, and #Compliance) isn't just a buzzword anymore? It's a strategic imperative for businesses looking to thrive in today's dynamic landscape. Let's delve into why GRC matters now more than ever: 🔍 Insights: Recent studies reveal that companies with robust GRC frameworks experience 30% fewer compliance violations and 25% higher revenue growth. #GRC isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about driving real business outcomes. 💡 Relevance: In an era of increasing regulatory scrutiny and cybersecurity threats, businesses face unprecedented challenges. From #GDPR to evolving industry standards (#PCI-DSS, #HIPAA, #ISO27001, etc), staying compliant is no longer optional—it's a competitive advantage. On the other hand, the new EU-Directives (#DORA, #NIS2, and #CER) have made GRC a fundamental brick of any organization. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently released its #CSF2.0, where #governance is pivotal in the last born #cybersecurity #framework. 🔑 Benefits: Implementing a comprehensive GRC strategy empowers organizations to anticipate and mitigate risks before they escalate. It's about fostering a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement. 📈 Opportunity: Rather than viewing GRC as a burden, savvy businesses are embracing it as an opportunity for growth. By aligning governance, risk management, and compliance initiatives, they're positioning themselves for long-term success. 🌟 Action: Are you ready to unlock the full potential of GRC in your organization? Let's share your thoughts in the comments below or connect with me to explore how GRC can drive value for your business.

When companies hyper-focus on compliance for the sake of compliance, they end up with tunnel vision that can stifle creativity, innovation and adaptability. There’s also a risk of overkill with overlapping requirements that absorb resources unnecessarily and drive up costs. Today, more companies are pivoting from compliance-first to risk-first mindsets. #compliance #riskmanagement #security
