Do you have any stats to support this statement? I work as a Information Security Officer, other firms have BISOs or other names for this kind of position.

There have been examples where CISOs have experienced legal pain in the US, see Uber's former CISO. But I would not expect companies to see this as an exemplary case.

Anecdotal observation.

That is certainly true. I was trying to point out that I am indeed not working as a CISO, but as an ISO or a BISO. :)

There's a reason the role is often referred to as the Chief Sacrificial Officer...
