Director of Technology Strategy in Services (non-Government), 2 - 10 employees
I'm surprised by how low the CEO is. To maximise a CISOs impact they need to have a seat at the top table.

If they report through another role, such as the CIO, then their needs are in direct competition with all the other needs of that department, before they can be prioritized against the needs of the rest of the business.
