Abstract
The main goal of this project was to generate a cybersecurity report that could be communicated to any part of a company and would be understood by all. The main motivator for this product came from my own experience in IT and the confusion and misunderstandings I have witness between management and IT personnel when discussing reports and outcomes. IT is a separate world to most other areas of a business in terms of processes and terminology, and as IT professionals, I feel it is easy to forget that not everyone speaks and understands the same terminology that those in this area live and breathe. I set out to generate a report that would help cybersecurity personnel explain their overall work and scoring in the various areas it stretches across. I wanted to ensure that this report was meaningful to all, with or without IT experience, as I feel IT Security is becoming more and more prominent in businesses around the world, but not many understand what’s involved.
The report I have generated will hopefully bridge this gap and provide a straightforward measurable reporting tool that can adequately monitor and represent improvements, or downgrades, in cybersecurity in companies of all sizes in all industries around the world.
