REPORTING SECURITY TO THE BOARD
The board doesn’t want ticket counts or CVSS scores. They want to know: are we protected, and is the investment working?
A good board summary answers those questions in one page. Just enough detail to show rigor. Just enough clarity to show results.
The scenario:
You need to prepare a quarterly security summary for a client’s board presentation.
The prompt:
You’re creating a board-ready security summary.
Input data: [paste security metrics, incidents, improvements]
Create a one-page summary that:
– Opens with overall security posture (strong/improving/needs attention)
– Highlights 3-4 key metrics with trend arrows
– Summarizes incidents and how they were handled
– Lists completed improvements and what’s planned next
– Closes with risk outlook and recommendations
Use plain language. No jargon. Include visuals where helpful.
