Chief Information Officer

Implement Policies

Put in place those systems and procedures necessary to ensure conformance to the Security Policy.

Set and Manage Procedures

The Procedures Manual will grow out of the Policies set down by the Board. The procedures manual will document the processes and requirements that are needed to run the IT System.

Advise Directors

The Directors will not necessarily have any IT knowledge. The CIO will be the conduit through which relevant IT information will be provided to the board. (Notwithstanding a Director’s responsibility to get independent support.) The CIO also transmits the Board’s requirements to the IT Department.

Devise tactics to support strategy

A Corporate and IT Strategy would be adopted by the Board. More than likely, the IT component will have been moulded by the CIO. The CIO then takes the Strategy and produces a plan and a set of tactics by which to achieve the strategic goals.
