Certified: The CCISO Prepcast

Who does what in the security hierarchy—and how do those roles contribute to governance, risk, and compliance outcomes? This episode answers that question by mapping the key roles involved in information security management, from security analysts to C-suite executives. We examine the functional responsibilities of the CISO, deputy CISO, security architects, compliance officers, and other critical contributors, showing how these roles interlock within an effective security program.

We also clarify role segregation, access privileges, and the distinction between accountability and responsibility using frameworks like RACI. On the exam, expect to see questions that test your understanding of role alignment and reporting relationships—especially how responsibilities shift in complex or federated environments. This episode equips you with the clarity you need to navigate both the theoretical and practical dimensions of security leadership.
