The Board, not IT, is responsible for Cyber and Information Security

Welcome to this week's Black Arrow Cyber Tip Tuesday.

In our articles in Business Brief magazine and the Guernsey Press, we have consistently highlighted that the Board, not IT, is responsible for Cyber and Information Security.

The financial services regulators in the Channel Islands have also made that very clear.

The GFSC has warned that “Cyber and information security should be taken seriously by the Board and included along with more established risks within a firm’s overall strategy for risk management”.

And the JFSC has told businesses that “As a registered person, the Codes of Practice require you to understand and manage risks, including cyber-security risks, which could affect your business or customers”.
