The Cybersecurity and Privacy Divide: CISO vs. DPO in the Age of GDPR

We break down the crucial differences between the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), who is responsible for protecting information assets against cyber threats, and the Data Protection Officer (DPO), whose primary focus is ensuring compliance with privacy laws and regulations. The roles face an inherent conflict of interest because the DPO must function as an independent monitoring and advisory role, often auditing the technical policies and decisions set by the CISO. Discover why organizations must ensure clear organizational separation to avoid potential conflicts and how seamless, cross-functional collaboration between these executive roles is vital for achieving organizational resilience and unified incident response.
