Today , the delegation of risk decisions to the IT team cannot be the only solution and must be a shared responsibility . continuous monitoring of sensitive and critical information . In such situations , a CISO may often be unable to quantify the maturity of the information security measures deployed in the organisation .

Continuous assessment of cybersecurity risk posture lets an organisation prioritise the key focus areas across their critical assets and most vulnerable technology , third parties or employees .
This ensures that adequate measures towards holistic cybersecurity maturity are adopted throughout the organisation .
Objectivity and simplicity should be at the core of a cybersecurity strategy
Cybersecurity posture cannot be represented by lengthy reports anymore .
It needs to become objective and help decision-makers across the organisation truly understand the risk posture and the financial value of risk that the organisation faces .
It also needs to be free from IT jargon to enable the boardroom to have a clearer view of the risk posture ,
