ESRB Privacy Certified for CISOs
What does ESRB Privacy Certified require of a CISO?
CISOs own the organisation's information security strategy, budget, and risk posture. Under ESRB Privacy Certified, which defines 20 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 ESRB Privacy Certified 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.
ESRB Privacy Certified defines 20 controls across 5 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.
