Let’s be honest.
Most cybersecurity programs are drowning in tasks—and starving for clarity.
Your team has a backlog of recommendations.
Your auditor gave you 42 action items.
Your MDR provider keeps sending alerts.
And somewhere, someone is still asking,
“Are we secure yet?”
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
The solution isn’t another spreadsheet or policy template.
It’s building a Security KPI framework that helps you prioritize what matters and track actual progress.
Why Traditional Security Programs Stall
We’ve worked with dozens of mid-sized organizations and seen the same challenges repeat:
Without clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and ownership, security becomes performative—and audit prep becomes panic.
Security KPIs are quantifiable metrics that help you measure progress, effectiveness, and maturity of your security program.
But here's the key:
KPIs must connect back to business risk.
Examples:
KPI
What It Tells You
% of endpoints with EDR coverage
Asset visibility and control maturity
# of unresolved high-severity risks
Exposure level
% of completed compliance tasks
Audit readiness health
Time to close a security alert
Responsiveness and triage effectiveness
MFA coverage across apps
Access security hygiene
% of staff completing security training
People risk posture
