Security Awareness & Culture Board Dashboard

Cyber risk is a people risk — but most boards only see completion rates, not culture. This free, editable, board-ready dashboard is structured on the SANS Security Awareness & Culture Maturity Model™. Open it in any browser, type your measured numbers, and print a clean one-page board pack. Your figures never leave your device.

How to use it

  1. Open the downloaded file in any browser — no install, no account, and it works offline, so it's fine behind a corporate firewall.
  2. Edit — click "Edit" and type your measured numbers; ratings, gauges and charts update instantly.
  3. Save copy — one click downloads a new file with your numbers baked in. Reopen it next quarter or attach it to the board pack.
  4. Print — a clean one-page landscape PDF for the board pack.

What it covers

  • Compliance Focused — completion, not effectiveness
  • Promoting Awareness & Behaviour Change — behaviour, not participation
  • Long-Term Culture Change — beliefs, attitudes & perceptions
  • Optimisation & Resilience — organisation-level impact & resilience
Before board use: every figure in the file is illustrative sample data for design only — replace it with your measured data and remove the "illustrative data" banner. Confirm the reporting period and, for a live entity, the legal entity name.
