A board that hears "the SOC blocked 12 million events last month" learns nothing about whether the company is safer. We build risk models that answer the question the board actually asks: what is the financial exposure, what could change it, and what investments shift the curve.
What this includes
- Quantitative risk model (FAIR-aligned where appropriate)
- Top-20 risk register with loss-event scenarios
- KRI/KPI framework integrated with existing enterprise risk reporting
- Risk-appetite definition with management
- Reporting cadence and templates for board and risk committee
How we run it
Inventory
Identify the loss-event scenarios that matter. Twenty to thirty, not two hundred.
Quantify
Estimate frequency and magnitude. Use ranges, document the assumptions.
Prioritise
Compare against risk appetite. The gaps drive the controls roadmap.
Operationalise
Embed in quarterly reporting. Risk numbers update; the model evolves.
What you get
- Quantitative risk model and underlying assumptions
- Risk register with top-20 scenarios
- KRI/KPI framework document
- Board-ready reporting templates
- Workshop with management on risk-appetite definition
Why this matters
Boards under-invest in security because they do not understand the exposure they are leaving on the table. Quantification, even imperfect, beats heatmaps. The discipline of writing the numbers down is the discipline that changes investment decisions.
Questions we get
Is FAIR the only methodology?
FAIR is the most established for cyber. We use it as a baseline and adapt where industry-specific methods (e.g. Basel for financial services) take precedence. The methodology serves the decision, not the other way round.
How accurate can these numbers be?
More accurate than the alternative of not measuring. Quantitative ranges with documented assumptions are defensible. Heatmap colours are not.
How does this connect to insurance?
Insurers increasingly require quantitative risk modelling. The same outputs feed your cyber insurance application and your board reporting, which reduces duplication of effort.
