Security Roles - Executives (CEO, CSO, CIO)What Executives Need to Know About SecurityAn executive (CEO, CSO, CIO) role includes deployment, enforcement and administration of security policies for your organization. Q. How can we maintain data privacy and security compliance? Since our own IT people are already too busy with incident support, can we outsource this? A. It is not only possible, but recommended to outsource network, website and application security to security specialists like PCIS. They have the expertise to understand your compliance requirements (eg. PIPEDA, HIPAA, PCI DSS). PCIS helps organizations meet security needs according to international standards such as ISO 17799 / 27002. Q. Our IT people just don't have time to educate themselves about the latest security threats and counter-measures. Can we get security awareness training? A. PCIS provides a full range of IT support and security awareness training to make sure your organization is capable of maintaining and monitoring security to the extent that you require. If you need more hands-on IT security support, PCIS is able to provide that level of customized support, from regular penetration testing and code reviews to building security into new infrastructure and applications. Security Is Your ResponsibilityOrganizations have to ensure security for their network infrastructure, websites, applications and physical environment. These are all under serious threat from hackers and cyber criminals attempting to steal data. Security is not just a good practice to protect business operations and customers; organizations must meet data privacy and security compliance regulatory mandates. What do executives, IT managers, security analysts, system managers, application developers and others need to know? More common questions are covered in depth in our Managers' Cheat Sheet for IT Security.
