Validating Importance of Information Security to Decision Makers

Decision makers and executive teams of corporations have a lot of stress on their shoulders because one wrong decision can negatively impact the success of a firm. That is why these individuals expect the fine detail of any project or threat be brought to the board members so that they can come to a comfortable decision. When it comes to information security, as a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), it is your responsibility to demonstrate accurate and valuable data and findings directly to the board members. Achieving this however, is easier said than done. Proposing solutions to cyber threats or breaches without having the valuable metrics and processes to back up your findings means nothing to your executive staff. Don’t drown in stress! Instead, team up with TrustMAPP today, and let us help provide the missing resources that you need to gain the confidence of your company’s decision makers.
