Chapter 5: The ISSO s Position, Duties, and Responsibilities

Responsible, who wants to be responsible? Whenever something bad happens, it's always, who's responsible for this?—Jerry Seinfeld^[1]

Chapter Objective

The objective of this chapter, "The ISSO's Position, Duties, and Responsibilities," is to define the role that the ISSO will play in a corporation or government agency. In this case, it is the role of the ISSO for IWC. The duties and responsibilities of an ISSO vary depending on the place of employment. However, in this case, we are assuming the ISSO has the perfect position because it is one all ISSOs should strive to attain in order to "do it right the first time."
