Align your cybersecurity strategy with your business objectives

What does it mean to measure cyber risk in financial terms?

Your financial performance is directly linked to your business activities. When one of these activities is interrupted for any amount of time, you can face financial loss. The loss can be via production shutdown, reputational damage or even fines and judgements. Our CRQ approach measures the statistical probability of a loss event and the range of financial loss you could incur as a result.

How are you protecting your critical digital assets?

Cybersecurity incidents come at a high cost

$100M

There is a 6% chance that a Fortune 1000 firm will lose $100M or more in a 12-month period.*

$200k

Financial losses for most cyber incidents is around $200k, but around 10% of cyber incidents exceed $20M.* 

1 in 4

Fortune 1000 firms will suffer a loss event this year.*  

C-Risk

Our solutions are built on the C-Risk knowledge library of quantifiable risk scenarios and corresponding data sets. This allows us to quickly perform a risk assessment without taking up too much of your organization's valuable time. Our typical analysis starts with interviews to understand your business value chain and supporting IT assets.

We gather business metrics (revenue, number of employees, of clients, etc.) as well as the maturity of your security controls. We then define the risk scenarios to be quantified. We estimate the frequency and magnitude of the identified scenarios using the information collected combined with our own data sets. The entire process can be completed within a few days thanks to our streamlined methodology. We can quantify your total cyber risk exposure by aggregating scenarios. Scenarios are typically defined by IT asset, per BU, per type of threat, and impact.

Improve cybersecurity compliance and governance with cyber risk quantification

C-Risk will help you build a resilient, risk-based CRQ program that goes beyond compliance requirements and provides data-driven insights for robust governance and defendable decision-making.

C-Risk FAQ

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions

What is cyber risk quantification?

Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) is the process of evaluating cyber risks in financial terms. Our definition of risk, which is the "probable frequency and probable magnitude of future loss," is based on the FAIR™ standard taxonomy.

These two key concepts break down further:
Frequency: How many times is a loss event likely to occur in a particular timeframe?
Magnitude: When the loss event occurs, how costly will the loss be?

Then we break down the loss event into loss types.

Loss types describe the many ways your organization or digital assets can be impacted: productivity loss, response loss, replacement loss, fines and judgements, competitive advantage, and reputation damage.

When you add up the cost of the probable magnitude and probable frequency of all the loss types, you are able make informed decisions about your cybersecurity strategy.

What is the FAIR standard and methodology?

The FAIR™ standard is a framework designed for cyber risk analysis across all business functions. The standard introduces a taxonomy and methodology that bridge the gap between cybersecurity professionals and executive management through financially quantified risk scenarios that can be compared to one another for more informed decision-making.
The FAIR™ taxonomy defines the specific components necessary for risk analysis, such as risk, threat, vulnerability, etc.
The methodology breaks down risk into specific, measurable factors and uses statistics and probabilities to provide a quantitative estimate of risk.

How are qualitative and quantitative risk management methods different?

Quantitative methods use numerical values to provide data-driven risk analysis, usually in financial or probabilistic terms. Quantitative methods support objective decision-making and comparison. On the other hand, qualitative methods describe risk using categories such as "low," "medium," or "high" and rely on expert analysis. While qualitative analysis provides a general indication of risk, it is more biased and can be interpreted in different ways.
