Episode 59 — Coordinate Security Roles to Strengthen Organizational Posture and Shared Accountability
Improving security outcomes requires knowing exactly who is responsible for specific tasks across the enterprise, and this episode focuses on coordinating security roles for shared accountability. We describe security roles as duties that span technical administrators, business leaders, and individual employees. The discussion explains why clear ownership is necessary to prevent defensive gaps and the wasted effort of duplicated work. We practice a scenario where different roles coordinate during an incident to manage containment and executive communication. You will learn the importance of defining escalation paths and decision-making authority long before a crisis occurs. We explain the principle of separation of duties as a critical control for reducing risk and improving oversight. This episode highlights how collaboration with legal, HR, and operations departments is essential for a truly comprehensive organizational response.
