IRS Publication 1075 for CISOs
What does IRS Publication 1075 require of a CISO?
CISOs own the organisation's information security strategy, budget, and risk posture. Under IRS Publication 1075, which defines 8 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.
