Board-Level Cyber Risk Reporting
Boards don't need packet captures — they need to know what could hurt the business, what's being done, and whether it's working. We build a board-grade cyber reporting pack and cadence: honest metrics, clear trends, and answers to the questions directors are now legally expected to ask.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.

- Guidance on director-level cyber governance duties and disclosure expectations
What you receive
- A reusable board reporting pack template tailored to your organisation

- First-cycle reporting pack built with you, ready to present
- Briefing notes for the executive presenting to the board
- A quarterly refresh cadence your team can run independently
Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Written scope firstAdvisory work runs to a written scope agreed before it starts, so what you receive is what was agreed.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Metrics reflect reality — we don't design dashboards that only ever show green
- We advise on governance duties; we do not provide legal advice
- Board presentation is by your executives — we prepare them, we don't replace them
- Underlying security improvements are separate engagements
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- What should a board actually see about cyber risk?
- Four things, briefly: the top risks in business terms and their trend, the state of the security program against an agreed baseline, significant incidents and what changed because of them, and the decisions the board is being asked to make. Everything else is appendix material.
- Our current reports are 40 slides of dashboards. Is that wrong?
- Usually, yes. Volume is a substitute for clarity. Directors consistently report they can't tell what matters in dense technical packs — and regulators increasingly expect boards to demonstrate genuine oversight, which requires reporting they can actually interrogate.
- Can you combine this with risk quantification?
- Yes, and it's a natural pairing: our Cyber Risk Quantification engagement produces the financial exposure figures, and this engagement builds them into a reporting rhythm the board can track quarter over quarter.
