Cyber boardroom facilitators for tech security leaders
We strongly believe that corporations should add a CIO/CISO/CTO to the board, and Protect2020 work with a limited group of people to help achieve this.
Our mission
Cyber threats are the single biggest risk to a company (outside of economic turnover) and this risk and responsibility sits with either the CIO, CTO or CISO. Protect 2020’s mission as cyber boardroom facilitators is to show companies why your role is so important that it warrants a seat on the board. We will actively champion your position, so the board fully recognises the key role you play in the overall security of the company.
"From a boardroom perspective, after a major data breach, if it's suddenly discovered that a CISO is a fairly minor player within the organisation, that’s not a good look from a litigation standpoint. We’re potentially a couple of fines away from quite a radical rethink on this.”
Andy Crocker
Founder of Protect2020
