The Playbook & Templates
CISO First 90 Days Playbook
Starting a new CISO or Head of Cyber Security role means inheriting live risk before you've had time to learn the organisation. The CISO First 90 Days Playbook gives you a structured, phase-by-phase approach to your first 90 days: understand and baseline, design and align, and deliver and demonstrate, grounded in Michael Watkins' STARS model and the five conversations every new leader needs with their line manager.

Editable companion templates for the playbook — a STARS diagnostic worksheet, a five conversations tracker, a 30/60/90 outputs checklist, and a stakeholder map — so you're not just reading a plan, you're building one from day one.
