Cybersecurity and CxOs: How Can I Get Buy-In From The C-Suite?
As a security or IT leader, researching and vetting security solutions is step one. What’s step two, then? Convincing key stakeholders like the CEO, CFO, and the board that the product needs to be implemented, that it needs to be implemented now, and that it’s worth the cost.
This is easier said than done, especially now that organizations around the world are facing budget cuts in the wake of COVID-19. But, security is business-critical.
So, how do you communicate risk and make a compelling case to (eventually) get buy-in from executives?
1. Familiarize yourself with overall business objectives
2. Create specific “what-if” scenarios
3. Work closely with the security vendor
4. Collaborate and align with other departments
5. Consider how much the executive(s) really know about security
6. Use analogies to put costs into perspective
7. Invite key stakeholders to events or webinars
8. Prepare concise and personalized briefing materials
9. Share these documents in advance of any formal meetings
10. Build a strong security culture
11. Keep an eye on security trends outside of your industry
12. Approach non-executive stakeholders early on
13. Match like-for-like people from both sides
14. Preempt questions and prepare answers
15. Get specific customer references from the vendor
