Mölndal City – enhancing information security quality
Mölndal City's Health and Social Care Administration is responsible for decisions and follow-up in areas including home healthcare, elderly care, and social psychiatry. Following a review of its information security efforts, a collaboration with DirSys was initiated to strengthen the quality and systematic follow-up of information security.
“In our collaboration with DirSys, it became very clear what steps an administration must take regarding information security. It's not just about risk analyses and classifications; you have to break it down further. It's a big job that requires a lot of commitment and involvement from each department. It's not something you can do alone.”
Frequently Asked Questions about CISO as a Service
Does your organization need a CISO?
Whether it's achieving legal compliance, maintaining a good brand, or protecting sensitive data from unauthorized persons, someone is needed to lead and coordinate the overall work on information security. That responsibility usually falls to a CISO. Depending on your level of risk, what legal requirements you are subject to and which customers you do business with, the need varies widely. Some have a need for a full-time CISO, while others need the resource at a certain percentage.
What does a CISO do?
A CISO has the overall responsibility to lead and coordinate the work on information security (and sometimes also cybersecurity). The aim is to create conditions for the organization to become resilient and resistant to cyber attacks and to comply with legislation in the field of information security. The CISO reports to management on status and works to enhance the organization's maturity level and information security culture.
Does the CISO have to be employed?
No, a CISO does not have to be employed. The advantage of hiring a CISO is that over time it develops a deep business knowledge. An external CISO gives you flexibility. Both in terms of scope, for those of you who are not in need of a full-time resource, and in terms of how quickly you can get started, since you do not need to recruit.
What is the advantage of having an external CISO?
With an external CISO, you gain the skills, perspective and experience that come with many years of work with information security in different types of organizations. You will gain knowledge of how systematic information security work is built up and established, and that work starts right at start-up. It will also be a more cost-effective and flexible solution than hiring, training and retaining an employee.
Who should a CISO report to?
The CISO shall report to the management or board of the organization as a starting point.
