What Would You Do With 750 Hours Back?
A few days ago, a CISO I was talking to hit me with a line I couldn’t ignore:
“Sure—just find me a couple extra hours a day.”
It was said half-jokingly, but let’s be honest:
That’s not just a throwaway line. That’s a cry for help dressed in humor.
We’ve created a system where security leaders are expected to be strategic while buried in spreadsheets, maturity models, dashboards, and fire drills. We ask them to lead—while giving them no time, no space, and no air to do it.
So I ran the math. Literally.
If you recover just 3 hours a week from each of five security and IT execs—whether that’s due to reduced reporting burden, fewer duplicate reviews, or faster decision-making—you’ve freed up 750 hours a year.
That’s not theoretical.
The value to the P&L isn’t theoretical—750 hours back to the exec team translates to six figures in recovered capacity and cost avoidance when you translate those hours into:
Fewer low-value meetings
Less rework
Quicker strategic alignment
Better use of cross-functional leadership time
This isn’t about being more efficient.
It’s about making space for real leadership.
The kind that moves the needle. The kind that shapes the future of the company. The kind that only you can do.
We’re not short on capability. We’re short on capacity.
Most CISOs aren’t asking for a bigger budget.
They’re asking for a system that gives them time back—and tells them where to aim.
That’s where Strategic Performance Intelligence (SPI) enters the picture.
SPI 360 enables organizations to bridge strategy and execution by automating cybersecurity performance tracking, accountability, and ROI measurement.
It moves beyond static assessments and static maturity models.
Instead, it delivers real-time intelligence that enhances decision-making, optimizes investments, and aligns cybersecurity with business, financial, and operational outcomes.
This is not just about tracking progress.
It’s about transforming leadership time into leverage.
The Business Case for SPI 360
We built SPI 360 to answer a basic but brutal question:
Why are so many cybersecurity leaders overworked and undervalued—despite budgets, frameworks, and tools?
The answer?
Because most tools measure security.
SPI 360 measures leadership performance in cybersecurity.
The benefits are tangible:
Increased efficiency and visibility across cybersecurity operations
Reduced manual reporting, freeing up executive time
Better alignment of security investments with strategic priorities
Lower financial and operational risk through proactive insights
Measurable business value delivered by the security function
It's a leadership system, not just a dashboard.
Let’s bring it back.
A couple extra hours a day might sound like a fantasy.
But the truth is, they’re already on the table.
The problem isn’t time.
It’s knowing where it's being wasted—and having a system to reclaim it.
So here’s the real question:
What would you do with 750 hours back this year?
Lead more—or just work more?
Read the business case and run the numbers for your environment.
And if you’re curious what this could look like in your org, just ask.
