Each member has an Information Security Officer (ISO) responsible for ensuring the security of information and Chief Information Officer (CIO) responsible for the management of the member’s information resources. The CIO’s and ISO’s work together in an Information Security Council to further the interests of all members. It allows us to be aware of what each of the members is experiencing, any open issues and any threats that are active or emerging.
