Executive Compensation and the link with Cyber Security

Many organizations are transforming into digital businesses. The risk associated with digitalization (i.e., cyber risk) is increasing proportionally and has become the most critical risk for almost every organization in any industry. Despite increasing awareness of cyber security risks, only a few organizations currently include a link between cyber security performance and executive compensation. If cyber security is included in executives' incentive plans and executive compensation, it must be linked to the cyber security strategy, security program, and operations. This requires clear objectives, time-based targets, and KPIs.

Our multidisciplinary team, including executive compensation and cyber security professionals, understands the challenges of building cyber security into your company's incentive plan and defining specific cyber security metrics to include and measure.
