Cybersecurity is now a Board-level agenda, and a top-three concern for any business of a critical mass. Numerous high-profile attacks and breaches, as well as several legislative and regulatory changes, have further highlighted the need for a robust approach to information security and assurance across the business estate. As such, finding the right security leader is paramount for any organisation seeking to secure their enterprise effectively.
With the relatively new addition of the CISO position as a retained hire, identifying the best individual for the role can be a challenge. Without a deep understanding of the sector, it can be difficult to understand not only the full spectrum of the role, but also the various journeys to becoming a successful CISO. The position has also developed significantly in complexity, breadth and responsibility, further highlighting a need for specialist Search knowledge.
Today, security leaders are enablers for other business functions and agree that rapid, sustainable change is best achieved through diversity of thought and experience. Our methods produce unique insights and thought leadership which aligns well with our clients’ ESG and ED&I initiatives.
Every search is different. We take the time to understand the industry, organization, team, and role requirements through our discovery process, engaging with stakeholders across the business. Partnership with Sentients gives our clients a competitive edge in their recruitment and retention of cyber leadership, leveraging our unique active community and network alongside empirical data to inform their critical hiring decisions.
