Abstract
Information security breaches have damaged corporations’ images and caused share prices to fall, and breaches of information security are emerging as an organizational risk. Various laws mandate that businesses employ information security officers with specialized knowledge, such a CPO, CIO, CSO, CISO, CPO, etc. Information security breaches affect general citizens as customers. However, despite the growing importance of information security officers, there is a lack of research on their role and characteristics. The purpose of this study is to analyze the roles of information security officers in various legal systems and the impact of the characteristics of information security officers on an organization’s information security performance. A multiple linear regression is performed to validate the research model. The results of this study can act as a practical criterion for selecting information security officers who meet an organization’s information security objectives.
