GV.RM-05.024

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.

Implementation Example

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
