Senior Information Risk Owner

The Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) is resonsible for:

• Oversing the development of an Information Risk Policy, and a strategy for implementing the policy within the existing Information Governance framework
• Taking ownership of the risk assessment process for information and cyber security risk, including review of an annual information risk
• Reviewing and agreeing action in respect of identified information risks
• Ensuring that the organisation’s approach to information risk is effective in terms of resource, commitment and execution and that this is communicated to all staff
• Providing a focal point for the resolution and / or discussion of information risk issues
• Ensuring the board is adequately briefed on information risk issues
• Ensuring that all care systems information assets have an assigned Information Asset Owner

Our SIRO is Diane Pearson.
