The Board-Level Cybersecurity Challenge

Boards and executives face mounting pressure to demonstrate cybersecurity governance, yet most lack the frameworks to assess, benchmark, and improve their security posture systematically.

๐ŸŽฏ

Regulatory Pressure

SEC, DORA, NIS2, and other regulations now mandate board-level cybersecurity oversight. Directors face personal liability for governance failures.

78% of boards lack cyber expertise
๐Ÿ“Š

Measurement Gap

Most organizations cannot quantify their cybersecurity maturity or benchmark against peers. Compliance checkbox approaches miss strategic risks.

Framework Fragmentation

Organizations struggle to harmonize NIST, ISO, SOC2, and industry-specific requirements into a coherent governance strategy.

Psychometrically Validated Assessment

CCG V2.0 has been developed using rigorous psychometric methodology including Cronbach's alpha (ฮฑ=0.87), Intraclass Correlation (ICC=0.89), and Cohen's kappa (ฮบ=0.82) for inter-rater reliability.

The adaptive branching logic (Low/Medium/High paths) ensures precise capability measurement while minimizing assessment fatigue. Complete the 90 core questions in 35-45 minutes.
