Oh Please. Who Needs a BISO?
This week's episode of Defense in Depth
Role of a BISO
On this episode of Defense in Depth:
Co-host Allan Alford and guest Nicole Dove, BISO, ADP, and host of Urban Girl Corporate World podcast, discussed:
A BISO becomes very valuable where they can be mapped to a specific business unit (by locale or business line).
The BISO role has become important because practically all companies are reliant on data and technology.
The BISO must have power to do their job. That requires autonomy and decision making ability.
Another way to describe a BISO is as a senior business analyst with a security focus.
From CISO to project manager, roles change often for a BISO.
Geo-aligned positions for BISOs have become extremely valuable in light of different and growing territorial regulations.
BISO is a good role for a wannabe CISO.
Only large companies have room for a BISO.
A BISO who can cozy up to a particular business units sales strategy is of enormous value.
Make sure the BISO is actually bringing value and not just acting as a gatekeeper between security and the business.
