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.

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.
