# Overseeing technology: nine questions the board should ask the CIO or CTO

PwC (Dec 11, 2024) "Overseeing technology: nine questions the board should ask the CIO or CTO" frames technology-risk oversight as an active engagement with technology leaders. Coverage areas include: technology-risk oversight that goes beyond CIO/CISO assurance through annual testing and third-party validation of control effectiveness and regulatory compliance; crisis preparedness — business continuity, disaster recovery and incident-response plans developed and tested for major technology incidents; strategic alignment of technology investment to short- and long-term business strategies plus an understanding of current critical-system reliability and efficiency; and assessment of whether appropriate leadership is in place to run the technology strategy through transformation. Direct question bank for SEA mid-market boards refreshing tech-committee charters.
