In all of the corporations I have ever worked for the ISS reports to the System Administrator, if she/he deems appropriate will bring any needed information to the Network Administrator. Just one working man's experience though. Thank You, Mark Prescott Manager/Technician Information Age Inc. 435 W.

I work for a very large company. We have a centralized information systems department. We have a wide array of operating systems and technologies. We are open 24/7/365. Who should the Information Systems Security Officer report to? The Chief Information Officer? Legal? The Company Police Department? (actual law enforcement officers - we are very big) Compliance? Risk Management? If the Information Systems Security Officer reports to the head of Information Systems, is he able to be impartial and objective? What is the best practice and how does it work in your organization? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
