Measuring, comprehending and attesting to cybersecurity posture is taking over our lives as teams spend more than a 30% of their time on reporting. There are ever more interested stakeholders who demand more detailed, more regular insight into security – execs, audit, insurers, customers, the list grows.

Data quality typically falls short on completeness, timeliness, and accuracy, as teams are drowning in manual workloads and disputes.

In this discussion, we will consider the following questions:

• What are the main challenges in creating trustworthy cyber risk reports based on high-quality data?
• How do we level-up assurance processes to catch up with other departments?
• What can we do to help increase the chance of getting a reasonable cyber insurance policy? And possibly even reduce premiums?
