Getting ROI From a Security Advisory Board That Works: Part 1 - Why
/
In 2016, my CEO asked me to work with an outside advisor, Gary McGraw, to create a Security Advisory Board (SAB) for our company. Right away, I realized that creating a strong advisory board to effectively support the company would take a lot of work. We spent significant time thinking about how this board could add value to the business, and how to ensure that the board’s ideas and solutions were implemented. First, let me note that credit for many of the ideas in these articles should go to Gary. He was instrumental in the creation and continued success of our SAB. In the first article of this two-parter, I will explore the kinds of value a SAB can bring to a company, and why its creation is worth all the effort. In the next article, I will talk about the nuts and bolts of executing a successful SAB.
