71% of CISOs spend 10+ hours on board reports
A survey from Pulse Security AI found that 71 percent of CISOs spend more than 10 hours preparing board reports, with translating technical findings into business language cited as a major time burden. Board members seek evidence that security controls reduce business risk in terms of resilience and consequence, while many organizations lack formally defined cyber risk appetites. CISOs are calling for simpler data delivery frameworks and better context to streamline communication.
Why it matters: CISOs and security leaders need better tools and frameworks to reduce reporting overhead, and boards need standardized methods to assess cyber risk appetite and control effectiveness against business objectives.

71% of CISOs spend 10+ hours on board reports
A Pulse Security artificial intelligence (AI) report found that 71% of CISOs spend at least 10 hours preparing board reports, with the main challenge being translation of technical security findings into business language. Board members expect security data framed around resilience, consequence, and decision impact, yet many organizations lack a formal cyber risk appetite framework to guide these conversations.
Why it matters: CISOs and their teams need better reporting tools and frameworks to reduce the time spent on board communications while improving risk articulation to executives who control security budgets and strategy.
