Personal liability concerns reflect a fundamental shift in how security leaders view organizational risk responsibility. The survey highlights the disconnect between expanding regulatory expectations and the actual authority security leaders possess within their organizations. This creates a dangerous accountability gap where CISOs bear legal responsibility for outcomes they may not fully control. For Singapore's public sector, this underscores the critical need for clear governance frameworks that align responsibility with actual decision-making authority. The trend suggests organizations must better define roles and provide legal protection for security professionals making good-faith security decisions.
