We’re in an era where cybersecurity is now a pillar of business integrity. The SEC’s July 26, 2023, ruling accentuates the need for robust cybersecurity governance. It necessitates that businesses see information security as vital to their company now, than ever before.

Finding the right leader is a complex yet crucial security task. In our digital age, a competent CISO isn’t just desirable—it’s necessary – highly demanded – hard to acquire. Businesses struggle to recruit and hire a CISO that aligns with their cybersecurity vision and satisfies changing regulatory demands while combating cybersecurity threats. On top, they feel pressure that their information security leader is constantly being head hunted, so retention is just as tough as recruitment.

CISO Recruitment is no longer just about acquiring a technical security expert. In fact, it is our perception here at Recrewmint, a modern information security leader needs to be compounding business skills spanning finance, legal, operations, privacy, HR & talent acquisition. We understand this at Recrewmint and prioritize these skills in our recruitment process.

The recent SEC ruling has sharpened the focus on cybersecurity risk management, causing the demand for proficient CISOs to surge. It’s encouraged for publicly traded companies to begin opening up dialogue with the FBI and law enforcement agencies before a high stake materiality takes place. This high stakes is already adding more inflation and sensitivity to a highly competitive talent market. Recrewmint’s experience and proven strategies give your firm an advantage, ensuring you get first in line access to the best human capital for cybersecurity.

The SEC’s ruling doesn’t only increase the demand for information security leaders but also complicates the retention of existing cybersecurity teams. CISOs are becoming sought-after commodities, especially for board-level and advisory hiring. Most experienced and publicly traded CISOs are retiring and setting up their own advisory businesses such as vCISO.

Bottom line, today and tomorrow’s information security leaders needs strong financial acumen because they will be more involved with folling your 8k and 10k reports, as well as 10q’s. They must manage cybersecurity budgets, understand cyber risks’ financial implications, and even draft financial statements. Recrewmint specializes in sourcing individuals with this expertise, making your CISO a financial asset as well as a cybersecurity defender.

Post-SEC ruling, a CISO’s legal competence is essential. They must navigate complex cybersecurity laws but be on top of their game when it comes to documentation because if proven negligent, can face jail-time. Our recruitment process highlights this legal literacy, finding attorneys who can help you determine materiality knowing their advice is privileged.

CISOs also must get comfortable reporting to General Counsel and legal for making sure security is compliant to data privacy. They must align security measures with obligations to protect sensitive data. At Recrewmint, we excel in recruiting information security leaders who strike this balance, aligning your cybersecurity strategy with privacy regulations and ethical standards up to a global scale.
