# Teams

**Teams** in CISO Assistant are used to group users who work together on the same security activities, such as risk assessments, compliance programs, or audits. 

Each team has a **Team Leader**, optional **Deputies**, and **Members**, making it easy to reflect real-world responsibilities and delegation. A team can also have a dedicated **team email address** for shared communications. Teams centralize ownership, collaboration, and notifications by allowing CISO Assistant to automatically reach the right people based on their role within the team. 

Tasks, assessments, assets, applied controls, etc., can be assigned to teams, in the same way as to users.
