Use case

Regulatory & Compliance

Regulatory expectations for cyber risk management are expanding and evolving. Data protection rules like GDPR and HIPAA, ICT risk management and operational resilience frameworks like NIS2 and DORA, and industry-specific standards like PCI DSS all require organizations to demonstrate effective, risk-based governance. C-Risk helps you move beyond checkbox compliance with quantified risk assessments that support regulatory reporting and turn compliance efforts into measurable risk reduction.

Why it matters

Build a defensible and resilient cyber risk management program

New regulatory frameworks and disclosure rules across the globe require organizations to demonstrate risk-based governance and effective risk management. This is an opportunity to enhance your current compliance program with a quantitative, risk-based approach that delivers strategic value beyond regulatory obligations.

“How do we avoid duplicating effort when we're subject to multiple frameworks?”
“How do we prove to regulators that our cybersecurity investments are reducing risk and increasing resilience?”
“What evidence do we need to demonstrate compliance during a regulatory examination or audit?"

C-Risk FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Regulatory Compliance

Can a single risk-based approach address multiple regulatory frameworks?

Yes. Frameworks like DORA, NIS2, and SEC disclosure rules share common principles around risk-based governance, incident reporting, and third-party oversight. The FAIR methodology is aligned with ISO 27005 and other recognized standards, making it possible to build a unified quantitative approach that addresses overlapping requirements efficiently while reducing duplication and documentation burden.

Do we need to be mature in risk quantification to get started?

No. C-Risk works with organizations at all maturity levels. Our approach builds on your existing controls and compliance processes, adding quantitative methods where they deliver the most value. Over time, you can refine and scale as your program matures.

What are the penalties for non-compliance under DORA and NIS2?

Under NIS2, fines can reach up to €10 million or 2% of global turnover. DORA allows competent authorities to determine penalties including potential criminal sanctions. Both frameworks also introduce personal liability for senior management in cases of negligence. Quantifying your ICT risks in financial terms helps leadership understand and prioritize regulatory exposure alongside other enterprise risks and reduce your risk of non-compliance.
