Certified: The CCISO Prepcast

Audit outcomes aren’t just internal affairs—they often need to be communicated to boards, regulators, and third-party partners. This episode focuses on how CISOs summarize and report audit results in ways that are both accurate and strategically positioned. You'll learn what key metrics to include, how to present findings with context, and how to frame unresolved issues as part of an improvement roadmap. This kind of executive reporting is essential for maintaining credibility and sustaining program funding.

We also explore how reporting practices vary depending on the type of audit, the audience, and the organization’s risk tolerance. You’ll gain insight into how to use dashboards, heatmaps, and executive summaries to make technical results comprehensible to non-technical stakeholders. For the CCISO exam, you'll need to demonstrate mastery in transforming operational audit data into high-level insights that support decision-making—this episode shows you how to do exactly that.
