Our research is based on a representative number of in-depth interviews with Board members of mainly larger organisations across different industries or organizations that are part of critical infrastructure. In addition, we survey Executives through our on-line platform collecting their views and insights on the same matter and analyse sanitised cybersecurity Board reports.
our research
These interviews are conducted by experienced research fellows and focus on how cybersecurity is governed, reported, and discussed at Board level. Particular attention is given to the information Boards rely on to oversee cyber risk effectively, and how reporting practices either support or hinder meaningful Board-level discussion.
To ground the research in real-world practice, participating Board members are invited to provide a recent, sanitised cybersecurity Board report. These artefacts provide valuable insight into current reporting approaches and help identify patterns of better practice that inform the Cybersecurity Board Reporting Framework.
Building on the findings of our latest report, the research programme continues in 2026 using the same proven methodology, while expanding to several geographies globally, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland. In addition, we also survey Executives to provide the executives’ perspectives on the same matter. These views will complement Boards’ perspectives and result in a 360-degree analyses and framework for all stakeholders.
This broader scope will deepen the evidence base and further refine our understanding of what good looks like in cybersecurity Board reporting across different governance environments.
