These are the three prime responsibilities of Directors (as set out in the Corporations Law). These (vague) responsibilities ensure that “the buck stops here” on the Boardroom Table. It means that directors have a responsibility to ensure that things are
done as they should be, and can be proved to have been done that way.
It is being seen more and more these days, as a Director’s responsibilities are widened, that Corporate Strategy comes under the perview of the Board of Directors. With the assistance of senior management, the Board will set the organisation’s strategic
direction. The CIO will have a large part to play in the strategies and tactics of the IT Systems needed to support the organisation.
The “Ten Commandments” that govern the IT system should be set by the Board. These will often be proposed by the IT Department which would be charged with ensuring they are implemented.
A director does not necessarily have to do the monitoring, rather, the responsibility is to ensure that it is done.
Similarly to Policy Monitoring, Directors need to satisfy themselves that an appropriate Security Policy is in place and being observed
The sort thing that can happen is if the captain of a ship does not observe the rules. Directors and Senior management must do the right thing if they want to have any hope of staff observing the rules.
