This checklist will help you:

Turn a massive list of projects into a prioritized roadmap. The funnel method for making decisions based on your actual constraints: budget, skills, deadlines, and existing tools.
Secure and protect your cybersecurity budget with data-driven insights: link each project to its cost, monitor spending in real time, and support your requests with hard numbers.
Present a clear and measurable roadmap to your Executive Committee: The right metrics for the right audience (progress, compliance, risk heat map, major incidents)...

Key Points on the Checklist

The Funnel Method: From the Regulatory Framework to Prioritization Filters

Four filters to apply successively to your consolidated plan, so that you end up with only a truly sustainable path.

Involve business units and service providers without losing track of the big picture

Centralize evidence, communication, and decisions in one place, then give each contributor (HR, IT, service providers) a tailored view of what’s relevant to them, so that management no longer rests solely on your shoulders.

The metrics to present to the Executive Committee, and the most straightforward framework for management

Progress rates and budget tracking, compliance status, heatmap of gross risk versus net risk, major incidents as triggers for discussions about projects that were wrongly deprioritized.
