CISO Business Alignment Checklist
The CISO role has evolved from technical guardian to enterprise operator. If your security leader still reports through IT and measures success by incidents blocked, the function is misaligned with the business. This checklist covers the 8 areas that separate security leaders who protect the business from those who enable it: reporting structure, business outcome metrics, revenue participation, vendor integration, capital allocation, M&A visibility, and team KPIs.
What's Inside
- 8-point alignment check for modern CISO role positioning
- Security metrics tied to business outcomes, not just incidents
- CISO participation in product, revenue, and M&A discussions
- Capital allocation for security tied to growth strategy
