Cybersecurity Oversight Question Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A board receives a security report full of charts and acronyms, nods, and moves on. Directors do not know which question would reveal a problem. This agent reads the security report and the incident history, compares each metric with its target and with last quarter, and drafts questions the board should ask, such as why patching time doubled. After management answers, the agent checks the answers against the data and marks those that do not hold up. It follows open answers until they are resolved. The board member approves the questions before they go to management. Edge case: a metric that improved only because its definition changed is flagged, and the old and new definitions are shown.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

Flags metrics that miss targets or move more than 20% from last quarter, and treats an answer as weak if the data shows something different.

  • Metric change above 20% is questioned
  • Changed definitions are shown side by side
  • Incidents with customer effect are always included
  • Answer must cite data to be accepted

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Change threshold (default 20%)
  • Metrics to track
  • Past quarters to compare (default 4)
  • Question count limit
  • Who receives the questions

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • The questions to management
  • Any request for an outside review
  • Any escalation to the full board

Hard limits

  • Never provide technical advice as final
  • Never contact management without approval

It stops when

  • Done: all questions answered and supported
  • Stop: major incident, incident plan applies
  • Stop: report not issued

An example run

What happensThe report shows mean time to patch rose from 12 to 25 days, and management calls it a one-off. The change is above 20%, so the agent drafts a question. The answer cites a delayed vendor patch. The data shows delays on five of eight months. The check fails and the agent drafts a follow-up on the patching process. The director approves it.
