The Problem
CISOs and executive boards are at odds with each other when discussing how to protect the business from cyber incidents
The Solution
A common language for describing cyber risk that leads to productive dialogue about improving the resilience of the business
Siloed views of risk
Every stakeholder has their own opinion about how cyber risk can impact the business, and that creates misaligned objectives
Shared understanding of risk
A single, holistic view of cyber risk is the basis for informing strategic business objectives
Checklist-based prioritization
Investments are determined by a simple “yes or no” adherence to security frameworks
ROI-based prioritization
The costs of investments are weighed against the return on investment they will deliver
Status reporting
Reporting is focused on what work has been completed and described in technical jargon that doesn’t resonate with the business
Impact reporting
Report on the value that security teams are providing to the organization in terms of business outcomes
Anecdotal compliance
Adherence to security mandates is delivered in static reports that quickly become old news
Proven compliance
Continuously tracked adherence to security mandates and immediate detection of gaps
“I’m struggling to think of another example of what’s basically a technical report being shared at the board level.”
“SecurityScorecard allows me to play offense instead of defense by putting me in control of the sequence and timing of fixes.”
“We’ve discovered multiple issues through a change in our Scorecard that would have taken us longer to find on our own.”
“I used to spend hours creating reports for board presentations. Now, with SecurityScorecard it takes me about three seconds to pull that same information.”
