Example question from this domain

A financial services company is migrating to the cloud and using Multi-Party Computation (MPC) for cold wallet security. Which KPI should be prioritized for the Board of Directors?

  • Mean Time To Detect (MTTD) for anomalous hot wallet transaction patterns after the cloud migration.
  • Percentage reduction in financial risk exposure from major cold wallet compromise scenarios after MPC implementation.
  • Number of open critical findings from the latest PCI DSS audit for cloud payment processing infrastructure.
  • Total security engineering hours spent implementing and hardening MPC cold wallet controls.

Mean Time To Detect (MTTD) for anomalous hot wallet transaction patterns after the cloud migration. — MTTD is a useful SOC metric, but it is too detailed for board reporting. The Board needs strategic risk and business impact, not detection performance data.

Percentage reduction in financial risk exposure from major cold wallet compromise scenarios after MPC implementation. — This KPI shows how MPC reduces potential financial loss from cold wallet compromise. It is board-level because it ties security controls to measurable business risk.

Number of open critical findings from the latest PCI DSS audit for cloud payment processing infrastructure. — Open audit findings matter for remediation, but the raw count is tactical. The Board should see overall compliance risk and business impact, not individual findings.

Total security engineering hours spent implementing and hardening MPC cold wallet controls. — Engineering hours show resource use, not control effectiveness or risk reduction. The Board is interested in outcomes and return on security investment.
