Interim Security Management Issues

More and more organisations are recognising the need to allocate responsibility for security management. Larger organisations frequently recruit a security professional with dedicated responsibility in this critical role. There are occasions where organisations have a requirement for a seconded information security manager on a temporary basis, for tasks such as the following:

• To launch a new Information Security Management System.
• To provide specialist experience during technical development.
• To fill in after the sudden departure of the previous manager.
• To assist during significant organisational change.
• To prepare the organisation for security certification or audit.
• To implement significant security improvement following an incident or an adverse auditor's report.
• Where the organisation wishes to recruit for a newly-created role: to provide time to find the right person while establishing the framework into which that person will step.
