Disclosure: I am having an account issue so using a guest account in the interim



I work on the IT security team at my employer as a senior analyst / engineer. A part of my job duties is performance reporting to senior mangement on certain cybersecurity metrics. As I understand and was told to me by mangement reporting directly to CISO, these are to be used mainly for internal operational process improvement, not to point fingers at anyone or call individuals out for weaknesses in their role.



Today, I received request from senior mangement for individuals who have been demonstrating weaknesses in phishing reporting and recognition of malicious emails. I understand management having these names will help in assessing what our social engineering risk exposure is, but feel its unnecessary and eroding trust with other employees. The folks may think this is a back stab and request feels unreasonable to me.



From my prior work experience in cybersecurity, building trust with end users is critical to achieving business goals. I am a respected senior member of the team and given considerable leeway in making decisions.



Is my belief that requested data is unnecessary reasonable?



How can I balance fulfilling my duty in my role, to protect company assets, against supporting my fellow colleagues in this situation?



If offering management anonymized data is appropriate, how can I best make this request professionally?
