Here we have to think in a different way : - First here you need to tell them a risky factor or the Critical level / High Level Vulnerability within the OWASP and those are residing in the current organisation - Always teach them in the effective way by comparing with the real life example. - By Having the Real world bug knowledge you can able to handle to wide non tech guys to learn this knowledge in effective way. Just compare the real world example you will then get it. Cause Everything is not vulnerable until it exploit.

Recent data reveals that over 90% of cyberattacks stem from human error, emphasizing the need for clear communication about cybersecurity risks. When addressing non-tech team members, analogies can simplify complex concepts. For instance, likening phishing emails to counterfeit currency helps illustrate the need for careful scrutiny before acting. Visual aids, like infographics, can further clarify processes such as secure password management or spotting suspicious links. Practical examples from recent cyber incidents also make the risks tangible, encouraging proactive engagement without overwhelming technical jargon.

Assess what security actions each role can actually take and share only information that enables those specific actions. Focus primarily on recognition and reporting rather than technical understanding. Most importantly, create clear channels for escalation

Have them mentally visualize and relate the risks from their daily life! Imagining yourself as an essential part of the company you are auditing allows the non-tech members to understand the severity and risk rating of the underlying process. If you own a process, you get a sense of ownership. Sometimes, non-technical minds can uncover risks that can go unnoticed by a team of expert auditors. It's a process of brain storming risks. It cannot be rushed, sometimes a blocked exit door of the facility can result in a catastrophy. It must be the job of the project manager/director to provide a roadmap of thinking to the non-tech members. In my experience, IT/IS auditing is more related to critical thinking rather than its technical aspects.

First as per any company's or organization's standard, we should have SOP like company's policy standard which must have mandatory for all technical and non technical employees. Before joining any employee's should have been given cyber security and company's data and needed all securities training should have cleared date of joining company's organization. So technical and non technical employees will be kept awareness about cyber security guard policy and company's security guard policy.

Trying to relate it in real life, giving them some examples, then trying to make them explain what would they do to face and solve this issue at the end gonna try to relate everything together

You can try to explain the risks as much as you want, at the end only a figure in money value will convince the other side. The impact of having to rebuild the whole IT infrastructure or failures of services is way too abstract, but having to pay the salary for 5638 employees for 4 weeks without having them working a single hour, except the IT department and the room cleaners, is something more real. The challenge is to sell the argument why all those employees can't work is the key. You can try to explain you're going to take the companies issued laptop and smartphone for a purge and reinstallation from everybody until the whole infrastructure has been rebuild, and only then you start working on it.

When addressing non-technical team members about intricate cybersecurity risks, focus on clarity, relevance, and simplicity. Here’s how to effectively communicate: 1. Use Analogies and Real-Life Scenarios Relate cybersecurity risks to everyday experiences. 2. Focus on the Impact Highlight how risks affect them and the organization. 3. Visual Aids and Storytelling Use simple visuals. 4. Avoid Jargon Replace technical terms with clear, plain language. 5. Relate to Their Role Explain how their specific actions (e.g., opening suspicious emails 6. Emphasize Prevention Provide practical, actionable advice like enabling two-factor authentication 7. Encourage Questions Create an open environment where they feel comfortable asking questions
