The Cybersecurity Guide to Governance, Risk, and Compliance

Ready‐to‐Use KRI Examples

This appendix is your comprehensive toolkit for an array of ready‐to‐use Key Risk Indicator (KRI) examples that can be directly implemented into your risk monitoring strategy. Each KRI is divided into 11 sections, detailing everything from the KRI title, objective, and metric summary to the measurement formula and trigger or breach measure. We also delve into the necessary timeframe, data source, and recommended visual representation to aid analysis. Lastly, the insights and actions segment guides translating the collected data into actionable steps. This systematic approach ensures a complete understanding and effective use of each KRI in real‐world scenarios.

STRUCTURE OF KRIS

Each KRI typically includes several components:

1. KRI/KPI Title: This is a succinct label for the metric.
2. Specific Risk: This outlines the particular cybersecurity risk that the KRI monitors. This section should provide a precise and concise statement of the specific risk that the KRI is designed to track. Understanding the specific risk is critical as it establishes the purpose and context of the KRI. This must be clearly articulated so that all stakeholders understand what is being measured and why.
3. Metric Summary: A brief description of why the KRI is valuable. This should include an overview of why this particular KRI is a good measure of the specific risk it is associated with. It should highlight the importance of tracking this metric over time and how it can provide ...
