ITPEC FE Morning October 2020 Question 76
ITPEC FE Morning October 2020 — Question 76 of 80
C-level Officer Roles — identify the executive responsible for information security.
The CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is the executive whose primary responsibility is protecting a company's information and data. The key distinguisher is the word Security in the title.
Why not others:
- (a) CCO — Chief Compliance Officer: responsible for regulatory compliance, not security specifically
- (b) CIO — Chief Information Officer: oversees overall IT strategy and infrastructure, not security specifically
- (d) COO — Chief Operating Officer: manages day-to-day business operations
Key rule: When the question mentions security of information/data, look for the S in the abbreviation — CISO.
