Does your organization regularly review key risk indicators (KRIs) to identify, assess, and prioritize cybersecurity risks based on their likelihood and potential impact?

Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) are metrics used to provide early signals of increasing risk exposure in various areas of the enterprise. Regular review of KRIs helps organizations proactively identify emerging threats, understand their potential business impact, and allocate security resources appropriately. Effective KRI monitoring enables data-driven risk management decisions rather than relying on intuition or outdated assessments. Evidence of fulfillment could include a documented risk register or dashboard showing tracked KRIs with their threshold values, assessment dates, risk ratings (likelihood/impact scores), trend analysis, and assigned risk owners. This might be in the form of a spreadsheet, risk management tool export, or board/executive presentation materials showing regular KRI reviews.
