With the increasing cyber threat landscape, boards are facing mounting pressure concerning their oversight of data security and privacy risks. Metrics should support business goals and regulatory requirements. This will automatically connect metrics to the business which can help with stakeholder buy-in and bridge the gap as well as ensuring resources are efficiently used. This proposal seeks to address the following questions: 

  • What Metrics and Why?
  • Whom to report to and How?
  • When to report?
