Editorial Analysis
Framed for the Compliance & GRC desk
CISO attrition driven by unclear AI governance mandates creates compliance continuity risk — if security leadership turns over during NIS2 or DORA implementation, programme timelines slip.
Ensure AI governance responsibilities are formally documented in role descriptions and compliance frameworks so knowledge is not lost with individual departures.
One in four CISOs is considering leaving due to AI-related pressure, creating a leadership-retention risk that boards must address through clearer mandates and adequate resourcing.
