Who actually owns security in your organization? Most companies today rely on MSPs for IT and increasingly MSSPs for security operations — but very few stop to ask who is accountable for security governance, risk, and reporting. In this episode of CISO Life, Brian Haugli breaks down: The real differences between MSPs, MSSPs, and vCISOs Why security ownership often lands on overworked CTOs and CIOs Why alerting and uptime don’t equal security leadership How the vCISO model brings enterprise-grade governance to startups and mid-market organizations Why separating security oversight from security execution actually works If your organization has tools, vendors, and dashboards — but no clear security owner — this episode is for you. 👍 Like 💬 Comment with your experience 🔔 Subscribe for more #CISOlife conversations on leadership, risk, and real-world cybersecurity Follow us - Website - https://sidechannel.com Podcast - https://anchor.fm/cisolife LinkedIn - https://www.linked
