1 Share of the chief ICT security officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT resilience manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A chief ICT security officer role treats 16 of its required skills as things a ICT resilience manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

ICT network security risks
ICT process quality models
ICT safety
comply with legal regulations
cyber security
develop information security strategy

What stands in the way is 31 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A chief ICT security officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT resilience manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held lead disaster recovery exercises management skills
already held manage disaster recovery plans management skills
already held ICT recovery techniques information and communication technologies (icts)
already held ICT safety working with computers
already held ethical hacking principles information and communication technologies (icts)
already held manage keys for data protection working with computers

All 23 carried skills, including the 16 the chief ICT security officer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 58 missing skills fall into 12 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
