In this CISM Boardroom Simulation, you’re placed in the seat of the security leader when a key third-party vendor reports unauthorized access — just before a scheduled board meeting.

You’ll walk through:

• How a CISM-level leader thinks in the first 30 minutes of an incident

• Whether to delay, disclose, or stay silent

• How escalation, risk appetite, and board expectations shape your response

• Why governance-first communication matters more than technical detail

This episode trains more than exam memory.

It sharpens your judgment — how to act when facts are incomplete, pressure is high, and the board is watching.

🎧 What this episode helps you build:​

• CISM Domain 1: Information Security Governance — in real boardroom context

• Confidence in speaking to executives about active incidents

• A governance-first mindset toward breach notification and escalation

• The ability to distinguish “operational panic” from “leadership action”

💡 How to use this audio:

• Listen during commute or study blocks

• Pause before the decision point and choose your option

• Then compare your reasoning with the governance breakdown

• Journal your leadership takeaway in 1–2 sentences
