Security reports provide stakeholders (executives, compliance officers, and security teams) with insights into security posture, risks, and recommendations.

✅Key Features of Effective Security Reports

High-Level Summaries

Stakeholders don’t need raw logs but require summary-level insights on threats and trends.

Actionable Insights

Reports should provide clear recommendations on mitigating risks.

Visual Dashboards & Metrics

Charts, KPIs, and trends enhance understanding for non-technical stakeholders.

❌Incorrect Answers:

B. Detailed event logs for every incident → Logs are useful for analysts, not executives.

C. Exclusively technical details for IT teams → Reports should balance technical & business insights.

D. Excluding compliance-related metrics → Compliance is critical in security reporting.
