CRO is a Cyber Governance & Risk Mitigating Consultancy  

'Cybersecurity is a significant enterprise-wide strategy and risk issue that affects virtually all levels of an organization’s operating activities. Several characteristics combine to make the nature of the threat especially formidable: its complexity and speed of evolution; the potential for significant financial, competitive, and reputational damage; and the fact that total protection is an unrealistic objective.' NACD, [National Association of Corporate Directors, USA]
