How the index works

01

Filtered for cyber leadership relevance

Every published role must pass CLI's cybersecurity relevance and leadership-quality criteria. Titles are normalized so a Head of Security at one company sits next to a VP of Security at another when the scope is comparable.

02

Compensation stated plainly

Disclosed ranges are labelled as disclosed. Estimates are labelled as estimates with their confidence and sample size. Nothing is presented as fact when it is inference.

03

Paths, not cold applications

Where sufficient public evidence exists, CLI identifies likely hiring sponsors and explains why they may matter, so an approach can be made on merit rather than through a portal.
