Client Context

Listed group — audit committee + risk committee, OJK governance expectations. CISO had 3 years of technical reports and 0 budget increase. “Speak business or stop presenting.”

Challenge

Translate technical testing into management-ready intelligence: risk in rupiah and operations, options with cost/benefit, decision requested — producing an executive report & risk summary directors actually read.

Scope - Snipeyes Executive Intelligence

• Loss-scenario modeling (fraud, outage, breach notification under UU PDP, OJK sanction) per top risk — ranges, not false precision
• 1-page risk summary + 5-slide appendix: posture trend, top 5 risks, options (fix / mitigate / accept with owner + date)
• Language QA: zero CVE IDs on page 1; every technical term paired with business consequence
• Output: executive report & risk summary + board Q&A brief for CISO

Key Findings (redacted)

• 3 risks = 82% of modeled loss (payment callback, SSO takeover, backup restore failure)
• Fix cost 4-15% of single-incident loss — payback argument wrote itself
• Previous “120 criticals” reframed as “3 decisions + 9 scheduled items”

Outcome

• Budget approved same meeting; remediation owned by business units with dates, not “IT issue”
• CISO invited quarterly (was annually); posture trend now a standing risk-committee slide
• Technical appendix still delivered for engineers — same data, two languages

Relevance for you: If reports don’t create decisions — change the language, not the data.
