How we work

Public sources only

Every fact on a profile comes from a page we fetched and read when the profile was drafted: the employer’s own announcement or leadership biography, a regulator or government page, or established trade and business press. We list each source with its publisher and the date it was published, and we mark its tier (A for the organization or a government body, B for established press).

Professional facts only

A profile covers roles, dates, employers, responsibilities, board seats, published work and public talks. Education appears only when an official biography states it. The portraits on this site are monograms. When something is not in the sources, the profile says so.

Current means recently confirmed

We call a role current only when a source less than 18 months old supports it. Otherwise the profile reports the role as of the date of its most recent source. Earlier roles are labelled as former.

Quotes and dates

Quotations are copied word for word from a cited page, kept short and attributed. The published date on each page is the day it first went live on this site. Profiles that describe earlier events say they were compiled from public records on that date.

How a profile is checked

Every source is re-read to confirm that each supporting passage appears on the page it is attributed to. A gate checks dates, sourcing, length, banned phrasing and duplication before anything can publish. Anything that touches an exit, a dispute or a person’s reputation waits for a human editor.

Who we are

CISO Spotlights writes the longer career stories of security leaders. Who holds each seat is checked against the public record kept by CISO Tribune. Pages are bylined to the CISO Spotlights Desk.
