It's possible to overthink the consequences of this conviction.  Just act with integrity and don't try to actively cover up/deny a breach.

The implications are more real now. As a security leader, you have to have your security framework documentation, leadership risk acceptance documented and stored in a safe place to cover yourself. Security is not just the security leaders job even though they are face of security.
