The 90-Day CISO Plan

Every serious CISO loop asks some version of “walk me through your first 90 days.” This is the template to answer it: the same structure sitting CISOs use after they sign, adapted for the interview.

What's inside

Not a listicle, a working document

01

The three-phase structure panels expect

Listen & assess (days 1–30), prioritize & align (31–60), deliver & report (61–90), with the specific outputs each phase must produce.

02

Stakeholder map, pre-filled

The eleven conversations to book in week one (CEO, CFO, GC, audit chair, engineering) and the one question to ask each of them.

03

The quick-wins section done right

What counts as a credible 90-day win versus the “rolled out MFA” answers that make panels wince.

04

Editable and interview-ready

Google Docs format. Fill in the company name and industry, and it reads like you wrote it for them. Because you did.

Want the full version, with a worked example for a real company profile, the board deck, and the negotiation script? That's the Template Pack. The free template stands on its own; the pack is for when you're actually in the loop.
