issues

More and more organisations are recognising the need to appoint responsibility for security management. Larger organisations frequently recruit a security professional with dedicated responsibility in critical role. There are occasions where organisations have a requirement for a seconded Information Security manager on a temporary basis:

• to launch a new Information Security management programme
• to provide specialist experience during technical developments
• on the sudden departure of the previous manager
• during significant organisational change
• to "ramp-up" for security certification or audit
• for significant security improvement following an incident or adverse auditor's report
• on deciding to recruit for a newly created role - provide time to find the right person while establishing the framework into which that person will step

Through our extensive network of professional associates, commissum can often assist in actually filling a vacant position with a permanent individual.

commissum will work with the client to define the skills and capabilities required. Depending on the requirement, commissum will match these either to one of the commissum team or draw on recruitment and contractor placement techniques to rapidly locate a suitable candidate from an extensive network of professional security associates. commissum has established this network as part of our extended team; all being known and trusted professionals.
