Top management ownership of risks - I have adopted an approach with has strategic and operational risks. I believe that strategic risks should be high level and low in number - and example of strategic risk would be systemic failure of ISMS, or information breach due to malware. At a detailed / operational level, there are many risks, such as windows 2003 server reaching end of support, but I wouldn't expect that to be owned by top management.
What are your thoughts re this please?
Answer:
I think that your approach (strategic and operational risks) is correct, according to ISO 27000:2014, the risk owner is person or entity with accountability and authority to manage a risk.
