Paris, May 7th — C-Risk is a Sample Vendor for Cyber-Risk Quantification (CRQ) in the Gartner® Hype Cycle forCyber-Risk Management, 2026.

C-Risk has once again been named a Sample Vendor for Cyber-Risk Quantification (CRQ) in the Gartner Hype Cycle. We were first listed in 2023, when CRQ was an emerging discipline practiced by a small community of cyber risk specialists. Returning to the 2026 edition reflects how the market has matured and grown, with companies increasingly looking for full-service cyber risk management vendors.

A holistic approach to cyber and technology risk

C-Risk is a full-service cyber risk management vendor. We help our customers gain a more objective view of cyber and technology risk to inform their risk management strategies and investment decisions. Cyber Risk Quantification is a key component of our data-driven methodology.

• Consulting & Advisory — risk program design, FAIR-based scenario analysis, board and executive communication, materiality assessments, regulatory readiness for     NIS2, DORA and SEC disclosure, cyber insurance optimization, and M&A     due diligence.
• Third-Party Risk Management — risk-based assessment of suppliers, partners and supply chain dependencies, using the FAIR framework together with the FAIR-TAM and FAIR-CAM extensions.
• CRQ platform deployment — implementation, configuration and operationalization of the SAFE One platform, including integration with leading GRC, SIEM and vulnerability management systems and continuous data ingestion from 200+ security tools.
• Education — a data-driven risk management curriculum delivered through an interactive online platform and in-person training, covering executive modules, practitioner content (FAIR-CAM), framework training (EBIOS, Open FAIR™) and FAIR certification preparation.

The result is decision-ready insights, a scalable program, and a team with the expertise to run them.

C-Trust: An extension of our expertise to SMEs and mid-market organizations

The 2026 Hype Cycle reinforces a trend we have observed with our clients: SMEs and mid-market organizations face the same regulatory expectations, the same third-party scrutiny from their customers, and the same insurance questions as large enterprises, but without the same security budget or capacity.

To address this, we developed C-Trust, a combined service and software solution for SMEs and mid-market organizations. C-Trust identifies and measures cyber risk to help organizations improve security and resilience, delivering a prioritized action plan that includes recommendations for insurance coverage.

C-Trust applies the same data-driven discipline that underpins our enterprise offerings, packaged for small and mid-sized companies that need to demonstrate cyber readiness to customers, partners, regulators and insurers without standing up a full internal program.

What Gartner's Recognition Means for Our Customers

This recognition is proof of our approach, one customer at a time. As trusted advisors to CISOs, CFOs, risk leaders and business leadership, we help breakdown silos and make cyber security and resilience a shared business priority.This is how we deliver on our mission: building a safer digital economy through data-driven risk management.
