Reporting-line record
Heritage Commerce Corp: the CISO reports to the COO and to the Audit Committee
Heritage Commerce Corp's 2025 Form 10-K says its CISO reports directly to the COO and regularly to the Board's Audit Committee.
Heritage Commerce Corp, a bank holding company, states a dual reporting line for its Chief Information Security Officer in the Item 1C Cybersecurity disclosure of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed March 9, 2026: one line to management, one to the board.
The filing says the Chief Information Security Officer reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer and reports regularly to the Board's Audit Committee, and that this role oversees policies and procedures intended to guard against, detect and respond to potential breaches of the company's IT systems.
This is a two-line structure, distinct from the single administrative report to a CFO this record found at another company. This record states the reporting line exactly as the filing describes it, with no view on which structure is preferable; see the network's reporting-line record for how other companies describe theirs.
