CHECKLIST PREVIEW

Take cyber security culture and human risk to the board with evidence that drives support.

Choose the right metric

Identifying the human-risk measures that matter most to your board members, helps your report gain attention beyond training completion and participation rates.

Make board reporting count

Connect human-risk evidence to wider business risk. Use incident reporting and real outcomes to make the impact clear, credible and harder to ignore.

Incidents and outcomes

Use incidents from your sector to demonstrate how gaps in human security awareness can lead to serious operational, financial and reputational consequences.

TSC EXPERT PERSPECTIVE

 Culture 

The key cyber security asset you already have 

Cyber security culture is shaped by what people do when no one is watching. Measuring behaviours such as phishing reporting, near-miss disclosure, voluntary training engagement and simulation click rates can turn culture into a measurable part of your security strategy.

By tracking these behaviours over time, organisations can identify where resilience is strengthening, where risk remains and where targeted action is needed.
