Everything on your security dashboard is green.

But the risk is real — and it’s been hidden from you.

In this CISM Boardroom Simulation, you discover a governance failure that many organizations overlook:

metrics that look healthy, but are built on incomplete or inaccurate data.

This episode explores:

• How to detect false confidence in dashboards

• What to do when KPIs are based on missing or stale data

• Why CISM leaders validate metrics before presenting them

• How to escalate without causing panic

• How to rebuild trust with leadership after bad data is exposed

This isn’t about technology —

it’s about decision integrity.

🎧 What you’ll build:

* Governance-first thinking around reporting
* Skills in validating metrics and dashboards
* Confidence in escalating data-quality issues
* Understanding of how “green” can mask hidden risk
* Leadership maturity in controlling the narrative
