Please find answers below, to the more frequently asked questions we’ve received. Contact us if you have a question that isn’t answered below and/or you would like additional information.

wHAT exactly Is this?

It’s really a publication designed to be exactly as advertised: 100 pieces of advice from 100 CISOs. We asked 100 CISOs to each share 1 piece of advice, helping others to learn from their previous experiences. This book is the publication of what they shared. Please visit our About the Book page for additional book information.

We will take the first 100 contributions and assemble them as vol. 1. Additional contributions will be included in subsequent volumes, allowing this to be a living, growing resource that continues to evolve over time. We are interested to see how advice changes as new technologies, regulations, and risks become part of our digital landscape. If you are (or have served as) a CISO, we would love to hear your perspective.

how exactly does this work?

We define this as a 4-way relationship, between the following elements: Company, Contributor, Submission, and Customer. Below provides the understood definition of each element:

• Company (us, the organization behind the idea and it’s publication)

• Contributor (you, a CISO / vCISO submitting advice for inclusion in Company publication)

• Submission (the Contributor’s piece of advice and its associated information)

• Customer (anyone in contact with the publication, outside of the Company and Contributor)

As a contributor, what do I need know to know?

In every aspect, we want this to be as positive an experience as possible for everyone involved. Even more so as a Contributor, we want you to have a complete understanding about the information we collect and how it is used. Please read everything here and contact us BEFORE contributing a Submission if you have any questions. You can cancel your participation at any time, but be aware, your Submission is an acknowledgement that you have read, understand, and accept everything described in terms of our relationship.

As a contributor, Does My Submission Cost (or pay) anything?

There is no financial relationship between yourself (Contributor) and us (Company). Our intent with this initiative is contribute, support, and help advance our profession. If there is to be an any financial activity between both parties (Contributor) and (Company), it would be written, detailed, and approved in a separate agreement, outside the scope of any activity with this publication.

How Do I know If My Submission will be published?

Initially, upon receipt of your Submission, a representative will contact (via the email address provided within your Submission) to verify receipt. Upon determination, we will follow up again, either letting you know if your submission was not selected or not.

If your Submission is selected, we will provide a draft how it is intended to be published. We can collaboratively make any edits, and with your approval, that will be the version included in publication.
