CISO Tribune

Computed report · from SEC proxy statements

Which board committee oversees the CISO?

A CISO's SEC Item 1C disclosure (Form 10-K) says that a company has board oversight of cybersecurity; it rarely says which specific board committee does the overseeing. A company's own proxy statement (Form DEF 14A) often does, in the section describing each board committee's role. Every row below is a board committee named, in that filing, as receiving reports from, or overseeing, the company's Chief Information Security Officer or Chief Security Officer — with the exact passage we read, linked to the filing itself.

Method: SEC EDGAR's full-text search (efts.sec.gov) for the phrases "Chief Information Security Officer" and "Chief Security Officer" in Form DEF 14A filings, read by hand against each company's most recent proxy statement; only a passage that names a specific board committee and ties it to the CISO or CSO is kept here. A company with no row either was not yet checked, or its proxy did not clearly name a committee in connection with the role: absence from this list is not a claim about the company. This list is a point-in-time snapshot, built from a sample of large, well-known companies; it does not yet update on a schedule or cover the full S&P 500.
