Security reporting your execs understand
Chiara Leone
22 Nov 2024
Build concise email security reports that drive decisions.
Lead with risk
Translate blocks and detections into business impact: prevented wire fraud, downtime avoided, and user time saved.
- Show trending threats by department.
- Highlight policy improvements and their effect.
- Flag residual risks and proposed mitigations.
Be transparent
Share false positive rates and how you’re reducing them. Executives appreciate accuracy over vanity metrics.
- Include before/after data for changes.
- Call out third-party dependencies.
- Summarize open incidents and owners.
Visuals that work
Use small multiples and simple charts: blocked by category, top sender geos, and time-to-mitigate.
- Keep decks to 5-7 slides.
- Add a single slide of asks: budget, approvals, policy changes.
- Attach an appendix for technical readers.
“Email security is strongest when controls, visibility, and user experience move together.”
