Leadership service

Cyber Risk Governance and Executive Reporting

Governance and reporting designed to turn cyber risk information into executive and board-level decisions and accountability.

Structure and clarity when cyber risk reaches leadership

Cyber risk governance focuses on how cyber risk is surfaced, discussed, owned, and acted on at the executive and board level. It is designed for organizations where cyber risk has become a standing leadership concern, but there is no consistent way to translate that concern into decisions, ownership, or follow-through.

This service establishes practical governance models and executive reporting that force clarity: what matters now, who owns it, when escalation is required, and how leadership decisions are recorded and revisited. The goal is not better visibility, but repeatable, defensible decision-making under real operating conditions.

When it’s a fit

  • Executives or boards are asked to implicitly accept risk without clarity on alternatives
  • Accountability for cyber risk is unclear, fragmented, or implicitly delegated without agreement
  • Decisions related to cyber risk feel ambiguous, deferred, or inconsistent
  • Leadership receives security input from multiple sources, without a unified way to interpret urgency or priority

What you get

  • A defined cyber risk governance model aligned to executive and board decision-making
  • Executive and board reporting that supports decisions, not passive awareness
  • Clear ownership, escalation thresholds, and accountability expectations for cyber risk
  • Consistent framing of cyber risk in business and consequence terms
  • A repeatable cadence for reviewing risk, recording decisions, and tracking follow-through
Why Cyfenders

We have witnessed the effects of risk being discussed without ownership, acknowledged without action, and revisited after incidents with no record of why earlier decisions were made.

We help organizations correct those failure modes by helping leadership define who decides, what triggers escalation, how accountability is assigned, and how decisions are documented and revisited over time.

Pricing reflects organizational complexity, governance depth, and the scope of executive and board reporting required.

Determining the scope of risk governance support
  • Decision environment: executive leadership, board involvement, and decision authority
  • Risk context: types of risk being governed and their potential business impact
  • Accountability structure: ownership, escalation paths, and follow-through expectations
  • Cadence and audience: frequency, depth, and format of executive and board reporting

How this fits into the bigger picture

Cyber risk governance and executive reporting define how cyber risk becomes decisions and accountability at the leadership level. It ensures risk discussions result in prioritization, ownership, and action, rather than recurring awareness without resolution.

Leadership
Defines how cyber risk is reviewed, owned, escalated, and revisited at the executive and board level.
Operations
Executes against governed decisions and feeds operational reality back into the risk decision cycle.
Assurance
Validates assumptions and informs governance decisions through assessment and testing, not standalone reporting.
