MSPs can utilize a robust cybersecurity report to communicate security findings to their clients. These reports allow them to assist clients in reducing their risk of being exposed to cyber-related risks and establish confidence with stakeholders. When it comes time to create cybersecurity reports, there are several best practices to be followed in order to effectively communicate security vulnerabilities with stakeholders.

The first thing an informational report on cybersecurity should do is to identify the most significant vulnerabilities and their impacts on the organization. This will allow your clients to determine the most significant risks to tackle and give them an accurate picture of their overall risk profile.

The second part of your cybersecurity report should provide insight into the difficulty to exploit each vulnerability. This can be done by using metrics like CVSS scores, number of instances, and length of the vulnerability's existence.

The third aspect of your cybersecurity report should demonstrate how you address those security issues that pose the greatest risk to the operations of your client. This can be accomplished by presenting a summary of the remediation steps you've taken to address these threats and their effectiveness. It is also important to compare the security posture of your client with that of other companies in their field. Utilizing tools such as ConnectWise's Service Leadership Index can be an effective way to achieve this objective.

A cyber board report can be a tangled document that requires lots of effort and time to produce. By following these steps and using a platform that streamlines the collection of data from a variety of tools, and presents it in a systematic manner that makes cybersecurity reporting more efficient and easier to manage.
