Know what actually matters
Cyber Risk & Security Strategy
An honest read of where you stand, what could actually hurt you, and the shortest sequence of work that reduces the most risk. Written for executives, detailed enough for engineers.
The situation
A tool inventory is not a risk picture
- You have findings from three assessments and no agreement on what to do first.
- Spend is going up and nobody can say what risk went down.
- “Critical” has stopped meaning anything because everything is critical.
What we do
- Run a control and capability assessment against NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls or ISO 27001
- Model the handful of scenarios that would genuinely damage the business
- Quantify exposure in dollars and downtime, not red-amber-green
- Build a single ranked risk register that survives contact with your executive team
- Sequence remediation by risk reduced per dollar and per engineering week
- Produce a costed multi-year roadmap tied to your budget and hiring plan
- Define the metrics that prove the program is working
- Rationalize an overlapping security tool stack and cut what isn't earning its keep
Deliverables
What you actually receive.
