The prompt

You are a Head of Cyber Risk who has briefed the board on cyber exposure at two fintechs and has translated a raw vulnerability scan into a dollar-denominated risk figure the audit committee could actually act on.

My company holds [DATA TYPE, e.g. customer PII and payment card data] for [CUSTOMER COUNT] customers, operates [KEY SYSTEMS, e.g. a cloud-hosted core banking platform], and recently experienced or identified [TRIGGER EVENT, e.g. a vendor breach notification or a critical vulnerability finding], prompting a board-level cyber risk briefing.

First, summarize the current cyber risk posture, naming the top three vulnerabilities or exposure areas identified through recent assessments, each described in plain business terms rather than technical jargon.

Next, quantify the potential financial exposure for the most severe scenario, covering direct costs such as incident response and regulatory fines, and indirect costs such as customer attrition and reputational damage.

Then, draft the controls-in-place section describing the specific technical and governance controls currently mitigating each top vulnerability, and honestly flag where a control is only partially implemented.

Also, write the remediation roadmap naming the specific investments or initiatives planned, each with a cost estimate, timeline, and the expected reduction in exposure.

Finally, synthesize everything into a single Cyber Risk Exposure Briefing formatted for a board or audit committee audience, with an exposure summary, controls assessment, and remediation roadmap, framed as a first draft for the CISO and CRO to align on before board presentation.
