Agenda Day 1: 7 September 2022

9:00 AM CISO PANEL DISCUSSION: How Do You Ensure Good Compliance Against Government Reforms?

Considering the passage of the SLACIP Act, entities which own or operate critical infrastructure assets should begin considering whether their existing organisational processes will be sufficient to comply with their impending obligations, or whether new measures will need to be put into effect in order to bring themselves into conformity with the minimum requirements contemplated by the Act and the accompanying draft Risk Management Program Rules. This panel discussion will address:

  • What does good practice and effective compliance look like?
  • What necessary steps are you taking to enhance your resilience and security maturity road map?
  • What’s the minimum viability to show demonstrated compliance with an all-hazards risk approach?
  • How are you ensuring your critical infrastructure assets comply with the standards?
  • How is the role of the CSO and CISO developing to enhance the convergence of security to encompass all hazards?
