Salary Information
Then move on to the average salary section. Don’t worry you don’t have to start snooping into people’s paychecks here, you can simple search online for the rough estimate of the types of salaries for your level of user.
In the example above I would search the average salary of accounting staff in the UK, the average salary of wait staff and the average salary of cleaning staff. Of course you may have different job roles bundled together so simply take an average across the group of job titles.
Now fill in the amount of years it would take you to recover from losing market positioning. For example, if you had ransomware and it wiped your systems out, it might take you several days to get back up and running, but in that time, news stories have been released about your organisation being compromised, your competitors are taking advantage and it might take a little longer.
But, there are cases where it’s different. For example if you’re a large tech company and you get compromised you’re losing a lot of faith from customers and even shareholders and this can seriously damage your bottom line. So you want to make sure that you’re taking into account all aspects of threats when considering your market positioning.

FAQ
Take everything away and Boardish is unlike anything else out there. It is essentially a tool that helps you show your IT threats and solutions in a way that the board will recognise. That’s why it’s perfect for IT budget proposals. You don’t have to use a spreadsheet or create confusing formulas, Boardish is responsive and allows you to quickly change information to run simulations and gather information based on your organisation as it stands right now.
Boardish also helps to:
- Quantify IT threats and solutions as actual financial impact using our unique algorithm
- Helps explore the organisation from different perspectives and spark conversations companywide
- Allows IT professionals to get the board and other staff on the same page when it comes to the impact of IT threats and solutions to create a culture change in the organisation.
- Plus it gives you clear and simple visualisations to put in your presentations.
To start, use your best guess! A lot of information can be found via the internet to get fairly accurate averages. That said, the more accurate the numbers, the more effective Boardish works! Don’t forget you can ask various departments for more information and use it as an excellent excuse to strike up a conversation with IT.
Boardish isn’t just designed for you to use for IT budgeting but helps IT professionals understand the type of answers they need for a full proposal and analysis. Not having all the answers is okay, it can help you start a conversation in your own organisation. You can also:
- Get in contact with us either directly or via the Facebook community, we’re happy to go over anything with you so you have more of an insight into your answers.
- You can speak directly with your team and other senior staff to find out the answers yourself.
- You can use Boardish without some of the answers. But note that you won’t be getting the full benefit of Boardish and your results won’t be as accurate.
If you discover a bug or you’re struggling to use Boardish. Please contact us directly or via the Facebook community so we can help you out.
A good point to remember is to pick the currency that your board is interested in! So, if you’ve never given financial numbers before you can ask a member of the finance department or even the CFO themselves. It’s important to note that boardish is about quantifying so you can make the board understand. Therefore it makes sense to use their currency preference.
Categorise them as the highest level of impact you feel they are. Boardish quantifies risks on the worst case possible and therefore the higher bracket will cover the risk for their entire job role.
