We have designed an in-depth quantitative study based on testimonials from European CISOs (France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany) to provide a realistic and structured overview of the profession today.

This study analyzes in particular:

🦸 the CISO's profile, responsibilities, and actual scope of work;

👀 the perception of the CISO, both by himself and by his internal contacts;

🥊 Everyday challenges: regulatory compliance, geopolitical pressure, mental load, budgetary trade-offs.

All illustrated with figures, clear graphs, quotes from the field, and practical advice from CISOs... for CISOs.

A reference resource to better understand the challenges of the role, take a step back, and fuel your strategic thinking.
