I think the CEO should ultimately be responsible. They have the overall authority in the organization.

I see both sides. The CIO manages the IT systems, but the enterprise risk manager looks at the bigger picture of business risks.

I would argue that the director of internal audit is the best choice. They have a deep understanding of the internal processes and controls within the organization, making them well-equipped to oversee the business continuity program.

Actually, I think the enterprise risk manager would be the most suitable for this role. They have the expertise in risk management and can ensure all aspects of the business continuity program are covered.

I disagree, I believe the best person to oversee the business continuity program for business-critical systems is the chief information officer (CIO). They have the technical expertise needed to ensure systems are protected.

This question reminds me of a joke I heard the other day. What do you call a CIO who's also the CEO? A 'Chief Everything Officer'! Haha, sorry, I couldn't resist.

Hmm, I'm torn between the CIO and the enterprise risk manager. The CIO has the technical expertise, but the enterprise risk manager has the holistic view of the organization's risks. Maybe they should work together on this?

I agree with Allene. The CEO should be the one responsible for the business continuity program. They can then delegate the day-to-day management to the CIO or enterprise risk manager, but the CEO should be the one holding everyone accountable.

The director of internal audit? Really? I don't see how that would make sense. They're more focused on compliance and controls, not operational responsibilities like business continuity.

I think the CEO should be ultimately responsible for the business continuity program. After all, they're the one who's accountable for the overall success of the organization.

This is a tricky question. I'm not sure if the enterprise risk manager or the CIO would be the best choice. The enterprise risk manager might have a broader view of the organization's risks, but the CIO would be more directly responsible for the business-critical systems.
