Welcome to this course. Here, you’ll learn how to craft professional, powerful executive reports in any Infosec field.

One of the biggest challenge in the Infosec space isn’t bordered on deficiency of technical skills, but a deficiency in proper communication – especially reporting to C level executives. Many pros in this field always make the mistake of submitting technical reports to non-technical executives.  As a result, there’s always a huge communication gap between the security pro and the executive team.

Your report is powerful if: 

  1. Executives understand every bit of what you’re saying

  2. Executives go ahead to act based on the actionable advice drawn from your report.

If your reports can’t make executives call stakeholders to action, then the purpose of the security assessment exercise in any field is defeated.

In this course, you’ll learn:

  • How to convert technical statements to business related statements

  • How to use visualization to communicate statistical findings

  • How to ensure that your report fits one page

  • How to include only relevant details in your report

  • How to polish your report and make it appealing

  • How to make executives take action based on what you’ve communicated

  • How to use your findings from the assessment exercise to find gaps in compliance standards (PCIDSS, NIST 800-53)
