The first 90 days are pivotal for a new security leader as they set the foundation for the organization's security posture. This period is not just about implementing security systems; it's about building trust with senior leadership and the board. Establishing confidence in your ability to secure digital assets is essential, and this trust is earned through clear, measurable outcomes that align with the organization's strategic objectives.
Role of Metrics and KPIs
Metrics and KPIs are vital for demonstrating the effectiveness of a security program. They serve as the quantifiable backbone that supports your narrative, tracking the efficiency of security measures and communicating alignment with the company's strategic objectives. Despite 79% of security leaders believing that outcome-oriented KPIs help demonstrate value, only 56% are actively creating and tracking new metrics, which can hinder continued investment in cybersecurity.
Engaging the Board
To engage effectively with the board, a security leader should focus on establishing credibility and fostering trust. This involves understanding the diverse expertise of board members and communicating cybersecurity initiatives in business terms. Presenting data-driven insights, using visual tools like heatmaps, and addressing the four Bs—Business, Budget, Benchmarking, and Buy-In—can help align the security strategy with the organization's goals and secure the necessary support for cybersecurity initiatives.
