Board Members

Cyber risk reporting informs responsible decisions

Qualitative reports only provide a rudimentary snapshot of a corporation’s cyber health. Cyber risk information is much more valuable once it is prioritized based on financial impact in relation to business objectives. A board member can can then quickly compare what areas of the business are more susceptible to a cyber-event and understand what actions can be done today to decrease the risk.

Navigate emerging threat landscapes impacting the business

As a board member, you can’t afford to stand on the sidelines as the world changes. Emerging threats and risks are constantly publicized in the news and media. Know the impact before the risk is realized. Determine how cyber risk will affect the business before it’s too late. Some important impacts include the cost of supply chain threats, consequences of ransomware attacks, and attacks on connected critical infrastructure. Any cyber scenario can be represented as a best-and worst-case outcome in dollars and cents.

Measure against industry benchmarks and standards

Improving cybersecurity posture is a journey, and cybersecurity assessments are a process of consistent improvement over time. During this process, it’s important to use industry data to measure how your organization compares to its peers. And ultimately, board members need a roadmap that outlines improvements and timelines with options to accelerate initiatives.

Fulfill your fiduciary duty when everything’s at stake

As a board member, you need better information about all risk types to make executive decisions. While assessments on compliance and maturity are excellent instruments to understand the present state and provide a score to track improvement, they are only one piece of the reporting puzzle. Cyber risk quantification allows you to take decisive action by understanding the risk scenarios pertinent to the business and the dollar amount of risk reduced for each security initiative.
