Our CyberPHIx podcast interview with Mark Eggleston, VP and Chief Information Security & Privacy Officer at Health Partner Plans, centers on communicating strategically with board-level and senior management executives.

In this episode, Mark and Meditology Services Partner Brian Selfridge discuss how to present cyber security initiatives and risk strategies to senior management.

Learn how to:
 

  • Provide a concise risk management strategy and overview of key security issues.
  • Build relationships with executives. Learn how they like information delivered and what are their key interests.
  • Create one-page summaries containing best practices and illustrating risk reduction levels. In general, stay away from slide decks and technical details for board-level briefings.
  • Create a 360-view by engaging members of the IT organization, compliance, and legal in structured risk management conversations.
