Has your organization established a formal process for reporting cybersecurity posture metrics to senior executives, directors, and management at defined intervals?
Explanation
Regular reporting of cybersecurity metrics to leadership ensures strategic alignment, informed decision-making, and appropriate resource allocation for security initiatives. This process should include defined reporting intervals (e.g., quarterly), specific metrics that matter to leadership, and a consistent format that highlights both current status and emerging trends. Evidence could include a documented reporting schedule, sample executive dashboards, meeting minutes where cybersecurity updates were presented, or templates used for cybersecurity briefings to leadership that show regular cadence of communication.
