Compensation and Budget Survey Isometric Illustration

CISO Compensation and Budget Benchmark Survey

Your input into this year's CISO survey is valuable to you and the security community.​

The results, from you and over 600 of your peers, will enable you to make data-driven decisions around your compensation, the budget to meet the needs of your organization and your career development.​

The annual survey is developed in partnership with Executive Cyber Recruiters Steve Martano, Jesse Annunziata and Matt Comyns of Artico Search. Find new topics along with popular topics returning in 2023, including questions related to:

  • Your CISO role – your experience, compensation and executive visibility
  • The infosec budget – the size of the budget and YoY growth
  • The security org – number of staff and compensation levels for key leadership roles
  • Your company – the industry and approximate revenue

As a respondent, you will be the first to receive the series of benchmark reports.

"In 2022, we saw a rise in compensation for the vast majority of CISOs. I’ll be watching this trend closely again. It’ll be fascinating to see if the CISO’s increased corporate visibility can overcome economic uncertainty to keep comp on an upward trajectory."
