BIMCO Cyber Security for CISOs
What does BIMCO Cyber Security require of a CISO?
CISOs own the organisation's information security strategy, budget, and risk posture. Under BIMCO Cyber Security, which defines 26 controls, the work that lands on a CISO is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share, and which belong to another team, then holding evidence for the first group.
Which BIMCO Cyber Security controls land on the CISO
CISOs own the organisation's information security strategy, budget, and risk posture. They translate compliance requirements into security programmes, report to the board, and balance security investment against business objectives.
BIMCO Cyber Security defines 26 controls across 8 domains that directly affect the CISO role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
