Getting the Board on Board with Cybersecurity

**Executive Summary:** This guidance advises cybersecurity leaders on how to present security posture to boards by prioritizing business-aligned metrics, framing risk in terms executives understand (using frameworks such as NIST, Cyber Kill Chain, MITRE ATT&CK, and the CARE standard), avoiding fear-based messaging, reporting breaches factually, and rehearsing presentations to build trust and secure ongoing executive support.
