Who is ultimately responsible for the security of information in the organization?

I think this is best answered by the old aphorism that security is everyone's responsibility. In practice there is likely to be a member of the Board who has the overall accountability and this person may be termed a Senior Information Risk Owner. Alternatively it may be the Chief Information Officer, the Chief Finance Officer or the Chief Executive Officer who has this accountability. Such officers are usually advised by experts in security and these may fall under the overall management of a Chief Information Security Officer. For best practice, everyone in the organisation should be given an appropriate level of security awareness training.
