FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 for CISOs
What does FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 require of a CISO?
The FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 sets a minimum food safety system (management, prerequisite programmes, HACCP) that FSSC licensed bodies assess every year, with sector rules for transport and storage and for packaging, and the assessment, statement and licensing rules for the bodies. Under FSSC Development Program Version 2.0, which defines 71 controls, a CISO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 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.
FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 defines 71 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.
