If a company wants a CISO and isn't able to come up with compensation commensurate with a CXO title then they don't actually NEED a CISO. They don't see the value enough to justify it. An alternative is a vCISO firm who can guide them through building out or improving their security program and be able to provide the technical and policy expertise needed. A good vCISO firm can provide an entire security team on a part-time basis and give them the expertise they need at the level of investment they're willing to make. If you're looking to demonstrate to your clients that you're taking security seriously but don't have the budget (or enough work!) to hire a full-time CISO, lets talk!

SO WHY'S IT IN THERE? I was discussing a role recently with a client and I'd got the job spec in front of me. As I usually do, I looked to challenge some of the requirements specified in the job spec to drill down into the what the client was really seeking. This is a brief summary of our conversation. Job Spec: Must be educated to at least Bachelors degree level Reality: Relevant experience is more essential than a degree Question: SO WHY'S IT IN THERE? Job Spec: Relevant compliance qualifications are essential Reality: No they're not Question: SO WHY'S IT IN THERE? Job Spec: Previous managerial experience is essential Reality: It would actually be an ideal 1st managerial role Question: SO WHY'S IT IN THERE? Job Spec: Must have at least 5 years' Compliance experience Reality: 3+ years' Compliance experience will be enough Question: SO WHY'S IT IN THERE? The problem is that such job specs with their inaccurate requirement criteria actually serve to discourage people from applying. They sow seeds of doubt in candidates' minds which it can be really difficult to overcome. OK, so the Risk & Compliance job market has slowed, but that doesn't mean it's easy to recruit. Far from it in fact. If you're recruiting at anything up to Manager level, it can still be a real challenge. So why are you putting people off when you should be doing everything you can to encourage them to apply? And so the next time you look to recruit, go through the job spec and particularly the Requirements section. Are your Essentials really essential? Are they even Desirable? If not, ask yourself the question. SO WHY'S IT IN THERE? #compliance #riskmanagement #financialcrime
