SIG (Shared Assessments) for CISOs
What does SIG (Shared Assessments) require of a CISO?
CISOs own the organisation's information security strategy, budget, and risk posture. Under SIG (Shared Assessments), 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.

SIG (Shared Assessments) includes requirements 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.
