Kopenhagen Konsulting was tasked with creating a strategic reporting format for the executive leadership team, aiming to offer a comprehensive overview of the threat landscape, insights into the organization’s internal security posture, and showcase the security team's efforts. We developed an automated strategic management report with two sections: a data-driven metric dashboard and a story-driven case section to contextualize the organization’s security efforts.

Our three-step approach began with designing the two report sections through stakeholder analysis and workshops. We focused on developing a data-driven dashboard and a story-driven section. Next, we built and tested the data-driven reporting format, integrating automation and refining relevant metrics with security experts. The modular design allowed for the easy switching of specific metrics and KPIs. Lastly, we designed and implemented a process for the case-based section, including categorization, standardized input, and presentation templates.

• Developed a standardized reporting format accessible to all stakeholders, including the IT organization, line of business, and executive office.
• Created an automated reporting dashboard with integrations to major systems.
• Established a repeatable process to maintain the report and include relevant cases.
• Improved security posture insights and mitigations through enhanced transparency.

The strategic reporting format led to productive discussions on systematic security concerns and the implementation of protective measures based on identified issues.
