ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 Question 75

ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 — Question 75 of 80

The correct answer is CISO (Chief Information Security Officer). This role is specifically dedicated to protecting a company's information assets, data, and systems from threats. The CISO owns the security strategy, policies, and incident response.

Why not others:
- (a) CCO — Chief Compliance Officer; ensures the company follows laws and regulations, not directly responsible for security

- (b) CIO — Chief Information Officer; manages overall IT strategy and infrastructure, but security is a subset delegated to the CISO

- (d) COO — Chief Operating Officer; oversees day-to-day business operations, unrelated to information security

Key rule: CISO is the only C-suite title with "Security" in the name — always the answer for information/data security responsibility.
