Who is responsible for implementing the ISP and has direct access to the commanding officer?

The Security Manager is responsible for implementing the Information Security Program (ISP) and has a direct line of communication with the commanding officer. This role is crucial for ensuring that security policies and procedures are effectively executed within the organization.

The Security Manager must have a thorough understanding of the ISP, including risk management, compliance with security regulations, and coordination of security training for personnel. Since they deal directly with the responsibility of safeguarding sensitive information and addressing security threats, having direct access to the commanding officer allows them to report on security status, propose changes, and ensure that the unit remains in compliance with established policies.

While the other roles may encompass aspects of security within their respective domains, they do not have the primary responsibility for the implementation of the ISP nor the direct communication line with the commanding officer regarding those matters. This specialization and accountability make the Security Manager the key figure in this context.
