Interim and acting CISO record
FactSet: an acting CISO ran information security through fiscal 2024
FactSet's fiscal 2024 10-K described a current acting CISO; its fiscal 2025 10-K, filed a year later, drops the word 'acting' for the same role.
FactSet's 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024 described an acting, rather than permanent, CISO running its information security program.
"Our current acting CISO has a graduate degree in computer engineering and has worked in cybersecurity for over a decade," that filing states, adding that the acting CISO reports to the Chief Technology Officer, a member of FactSet's Executive Leadership Team.
A year later, in the 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025 (filed October 22, 2025), FactSet's equivalent disclosure describes a dedicated Chief Information Security Officer with the same graduate degree in computer engineering, now credited with over two decades of cybersecurity experience rather than over a decade — the acting status named in the 2024 filing has since resolved. FactSet does not name the CISO in either filing.
