Frequently asked questions

From risk assessment to rapid response - we’re with you every step of the way.

What is executive and board reporting in cybersecurity?

Executive and board reporting translates complex cybersecurity risks into clear, business-relevant insights. It helps CISOs and IT leaders keep senior stakeholders informed, engaged and aligned with security priorities.

Why is board-level security reporting important?

Board-level reporting ensures security decisions are supported at the top. It demonstrates accountability, shows progress over time and helps secure investment in critical risk mitigation efforts.

What should be included in a cybersecurity board report?

A good board report covers key threats, risk posture, incidents and trends. It should highlight risk-based actions, link to business priorities and be easy for non-technical readers to understand.

How often should cybersecurity reporting go to the board?

Quarterly reporting is standard, but the right frequency depends on your organisation’s risk profile and governance expectations. We help tailor the right cadence and format for your leadership team.

Yes. Bastion works with CISOs, security teams and executives to uplift reporting practices. We help you frame insights, align metrics with business value and build trusted communication with your board.
