security chief

Top safety officer

A security chief is the person responsible for an organization's security operations—overseeing protection of personnel, property, information, or systems.

The title appears in corporate, government, and military contexts: The security chief ordered an evacuation after the threat was received.

In fiction, security chiefs often command starship or facility defenses.
