Terms of Service
The terms that govern your use of cisosconnect.com and the CISOs Connect™ member area.
Acceptance of terms
By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
Who operates this site
CISOs Connect™ is a CISO-led community for chief information security officers and senior security executives, headquartered in Tenafly, NJ, operating since 2012. Web infrastructure is provided by our operational partner, Synthetic Insights, as described on our About page.
Membership
Membership in CISOs Connect™ is by invitation and curation. Submitting the membership inquiry form is a request for consideration, not an application that guarantees acceptance; our curation team follows up on submissions that meet our current criteria.
Acceptable use
This site is for professional, lawful use by security leaders, vendors, and press. You agree not to scrape, misuse, or attempt to bypass access controls on the site, and — if you're an authenticated member — not to redistribute confidential member-area content outside the community.
Intellectual property
CISOs Connect™, Security Shark Tank®, and Security Current® are trademarks of CISOs Connect. Site content, research reports, and recognition-program materials are owned by CISOs Connect or its licensors. You may view and reference this content for personal, non-commercial purposes; reproduction or redistribution requires our permission.
Vendor & sponsor engagements
Submitting the vendor engagement inquiry form starts a conversation, not an engagement. Any vendor, sponsor, or advisory arrangement is subject to a separate agreement signed by both parties.
Recognition programs
Nominations and participation in our recognition programs (C100, A100, Deputy C100, Security Shark Tank®) are subject to each program's own eligibility criteria and judging process, as described on the relevant program page. Being nominated does not guarantee selection; inclusion is at the sole discretion of the program's judging panel.
Third-party links
This site links to third-party services we don't control, including our awards platform, PR Newswire, and LinkedIn. We aren't responsible for their content or practices.
Disclaimer of warranties
This site and its content are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't guarantee the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that all content is complete or current.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CISOs Connect™ is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws applicable in New Jersey, USA, where CISOs Connect™ is headquartered.
