Executive leaders may not be saying it aloud, but business objectives and priorities don't always promote timely disclosures.

Editorial Analysis

Why it matters

With NIS2 imposing strict early-warning and notification deadlines, organisations that culturally suppress bad news face regulatory sanctions on top of operational risk.

What to do

Establish a board-endorsed disclosure policy with pre-approved communication templates so CISOs can report incidents without ad-hoc executive gatekeeping.

Board brief

Pressure on CISOs to suppress breach disclosures creates legal liability under NIS2's mandatory 24-hour notification window.
