What is the SIRO Network?
Our mission is to empower Senior Information Risk Owners (SIROs), especially those working in Government and in Health and Care organisations, with the training, resources and community they need to succeed. We recognise, that while the SIRO role is critical in health and public sector organisations, the knowledge and support we provide are just as valuable to any Information Risk Owner who wants to manage information security risks with confidence.
Our approach is friendly, authentic and pragmatic, inspired by the down to earth style championed by industry experts such as Barry Moult (BJM IG Privacy Ltd). We want learning about information governance and risk management to be engaging and practical, never overwhelming.

At The Privacy Centre we bring together everything a SIRO needs in one place. This includes specialised training courses, networking opportunities and expert guidance on wider governance challenges.
How does a good SIRO shape and foster information risk management?
Strategic Leadership
A strong SIRO sets the tone for data protection, provides clear direction, breaks down silos, removes obstacles, clarifies roles, fosters a learning culture, and communicates effectively.
Enabling Effective Risk Management
SIROs play a key role in enabling the organisation to manage information risks end-to-end. They break down silos across IT, security, data protection, legal, operations and business teams, ensuring risks are understood collectively. They also remove obstacles unblocking decisions, resources and funding so that essential controls and improvements can be implemented.
Building a Supportive, Engaged Culture
A strong SIRO clarifies roles and accountability so everyone knows who owns which risks and how they will be supported. They champion a learning culture, encouraging open reporting of incidents and near misses without blame. Most importantly, they engage the wider organisation in plain language, translating technical issues into real-world business impact that leaders can understand and act on.
