Board Reporting

Business cases for security can sometimes be tricky. The board appreciates that security has a critical role, but sometimes value is hard to see, as much of the value is vested in bad things not happening, rather than good tangible visible outcomes. None of us like paying for insurance, until we need it. Likewise, nobody likes a sales pitch that starts and ends with "you'll regret it if you don't".

​

Having the right measures, metrics, and KPIs is critical to a positive perception of your security org, and any business case should be framed within the context of those KPIs and KRIs.

​

What to communicate to the board, and how to frame it, is something that the modern CISO has to get right first time, every time.

​

The best businesses view security as the safety features. Good security enables you to go faster, brake later, corner quicker, and really push the envelope on performance, knowing that when extension turns to over-extension, your comprehensive safety features will protect you.

​

Everything is accelerating, and good security allows business to go faster, safer. Make that a part of your story to the board.
