I believe ITIL is fundamental, but not really directly tied to transformation initiatives. Transformation initiatives would require, on top of ITIL, cultural mind shifts, training, upskilling, etc. Transformations require far more soft skills for IT to consume than they traditionally have, and I don't think ITIL can really help on that front.

As part of our NYSE IPO prep, we’re debating how to communicate our system hardening efforts in regulatory disclosures (e.g., SEC Form 20-F, SFC).

Would you recommend sharing % compliance (e.g., “85% CIS Tier 2”) or sticking to qualitative descriptions of how we identify and mitigate risks? Also, do SFC/ISO 27001 expectations require full ISMS integration, or is a % model acceptable?
