Board-Level Questions
Executives want to know where AI is used, what data it touches, which controls are active, what incidents or near misses occurred, and how risk is trending over time.
Useful Metrics
Report adoption by business unit, policy violations, blocked sensitive data events, prompt attack detections, red team findings, remediation status, and high-risk agent actions.
Avoid Vanity Reporting
Counting prompts or model calls alone does not explain risk. Metrics should connect AI usage to data sensitivity, business processes, control coverage, and remediation progress.
Narrative Matters
The best reports pair numbers with clear decisions: where to expand AI, where to tighten controls, and where residual risk requires executive acceptance.
