CXO Award Programs

2009 CSO Compass Awards


This year's theme is Raising the Bar. Winners will be selected by CSO's editorial staff. Selection will be based on nominees' achievements in advancing some particular aspect of the security profession (examples: security awareness, metrics, methodologies, public-private cooperation.)

Nominees should be practicing security professionals involved in security or risk management operations for their private or public sector organizations. Other nominees will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The 2009 Compass Awards will be presented at the CSO Perspectives Conference,
March 1-3, 2009,
Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort
Clearwater, Florida
