Strategic Communications Support to
CHIEF SECURITY
OFFICERS + DIRECTORS
Protecting People, Property, Performance + Brand
Your daily focus isn’t just on prevention and response. It’s also on enabling the business safely - and ensuring best-in-class security protocols help streamline operations, initiatives and priorities.
Your success relies on so much more than your domain expertise and career experience in security. Absolutely critical is how you communicate – “up, down and sideways.” Your senior leaders expect your communications, reporting and executive counsel to be crisp, fact-based, strategy-driven, risk-savvy and actionable. Your direct team needs continuous messaging that inspires (1) their confidence in you, (2) belief in their mission, and (3) engagement in their tasks at an exceptional level. And, just as importantly, your leader peers – from the heads of HR, IT and Information Security to Business Continuity, Strategic Planning and Facilities Maintenance – need to understand exactly where their respective mandates require insight or support from your Security team and where they need to support yours.
