How to Safely Use AI as a Security Executive

Practical guidance on experimenting with AI without creating unmanaged risk, from guardrails to governance patterns.

A framework for deciding what your C3 should and shouldn’t do, and how to keep it aligned with your risk posture.

From Firefighting to Foresight

Using AI augmentation to create more space for proactive strategy, not just reactive firefighting.

Prompt packs

Sample prompts your future C3 might use.

A few examples of the kinds of prompts and patterns your Personal C3 can be trained on:

  • “Draft a one-page executive summary of our top three security risks for the next board meeting.”
  • “Generate a strawman roadmap for a 24-month Zero Trust program, with phased milestones.”
  • “Create a tabletop exercise scenario for a cloud data exfiltration incident affecting our European region.”
  • “Turn these raw meeting notes into a clear decision log and action list.”

Day in the life

A day in the life with a Personal C3.

Imagine starting your day with a 10-minute sync with your C3:

  • It summarizes overnight developments, key risks, and today’s critical commitments.
  • It preps the questions you should ask in leadership and board meetings.
  • It surfaces draft responses and documents for you to quickly refine and approve.

By the time you walk into your first meeting, you’re not catching up—you’re already prepared.

Checklist

CISO AI readiness checklist.

A concise checklist to assess whether you—and your organization—are ready to safely adopt an executive-grade AI assistant.

  • Clarity on where AI can help and where it must not be used.
  • Defined risk appetite and guardrails for experimentation.
  • Visibility for legal, compliance, and security stakeholders.
  • An initial plan for measuring impact and value.

You can treat this checklist as a starting point for internal discussions—or we can walk through it together.
