Scenario: An organization has recently appointed a CISO. This is a new role in the organization and it signals the increasing need to address security consistently at the enterprise level. This new CISO, while confident with skills and experience, is constantly on the defensive and is unable to advance the IT security centric agenda. The CISO has been able to implement a number of technical controls and is able to influence the Information Technology teams but has not been able to influence the rest of the organization.
From an organizational perspective, which of the following is the LIKELY reason for this?

  • A. The CISO reports to the IT organization
  • B. The CISO has not implemented a policy management framework
  • C. The CISO does not report directly to the CEO of the organization

If A is true, then C would be true as well. It is basically the same answer to the question. If the question was turned around to how to remediate the issue then the CISO should report directly to the CEO. So the direct answer is that the CISO is reporting to IT when he should be reporting to the CEO.

It is "A" based on how the question is written: "...CISO has been able to implement a number of technical controls and is able to influence the Information Technology teams but has not been able to influence the rest of the organization..." The answer could be "not reporting to the CEO" too, but the fact that the CISO is able to influence the IT departments and not others, makes "A" a better answer.

"A" means that CISO is in a non-executive role. There his transversal influence across the organization is limited. My opinion is that "A" is most objective choice.

How can this be "A" since nowhere in the question it says CISO reports to IT department, only that IT likes him. Most probably answer should be C.
