Board directors now bear direct responsibility for NIS2 compliance, yet they need brief, clear information without operational complexity. CISOs face the challenge of translating technical cybersecurity progress into executive-level insights that build trust, enable informed decisions and secure funding for future initiatives.

Effective board communication requires more than status updates. It demands structured measurement frameworks that demonstrate tangible progress. The key lies in preparation - delivering precise executive summaries, threat assessments and maturity evaluations that answer one fundamental question: are we moving forward?

This practical session presents a straightforward approach to measuring and communicating NIS2 compliance progress using adapted CMMI frameworks.

This session, led by Niels Søby Vesterager, CISO at DAO Distribution, will cover:

• Structuring board presentations for maximum clarity and impact in minimal time;
• Applying CMMI maturity levels to measure progress across NIS2 requirements from policies to optimization;
• Creating visual progress metrics that boards understand and value;
• Building trust through transparent communication that secures management support and project funding.
