The role is to lead the advice, consulting, the coaching of the client on CISO level issues and be able to deliver effective project management and program oversight.


However, with this said, the knowledge and experience of the senior CISO Consultant means that there will be a dependence on ensuring tactical level work is completed and may involve times where the tactical work is done by the senior CISO consultant, but this is not the main effort.
