French term or phrase: personnes sensibles à la sécurité des systèmes d'information
Apologies if this seems like an easy question but I'm afraid my brain is frazzled! I'm translating an internal document on the implementation of ISO standard 27002 on information security management, which says that "des personnes sensibles a la sécurité des SI mettent en place des mesures appropriées" in relation to each aspect of the standard. It's the word "sensible" that I'm stuck on as I can't work out whether it means responsible for/compassionate about/sensitive to or something entirely different. Any suggestions gratefully considered.

disagree  Richard Hedger: Chris, if I was to say that you were sensible au bruit, you wouldn't take it to mean that you were responsible for noise, right? Sorry for being the kill joy :)

Explanation:
It rather depends on how it fits in with the rest of the surrounding text, but I have a feeling that this is what it means here; I think the meaning is similar to that of 'susceptibles'

Cf. the use in EN of 'sensitive information'
