Do CISOs Need a Code of Ethics?

Industry expert Robert Hansen argues that chief information security officers should adopt a formal code of ethics to address conflicts of interest, self-dealing, and other practices that could compromise enterprise and national security. A code of ethics could establish professional standards for CISOs navigating vendor relationships, investment decisions, and other activities where personal interests might diverge from organizational security objectives.

Why it matters: CISOs should understand the professional accountability standards being proposed within the industry, as adoption could reshape how executives approach vendor selection, partnerships, and governance decisions.
