Advisory services
Our advisory services offer bespoke guidance to support your organisation in effectively managing cyber risk and achieving regulatory compliance through a quantitative, data-driven approach. By focusing on measurable outcomes, we partner with you to identify gaps, strengthen your risk posture, and implement strategies aligned with your unique risk tolerance and governance requirements.
With a foundation in cyber risk quantification (CRQ), our approach goes beyond traditional compliance; we integrate actuarial science to assess risk in financial terms. We use an evidence-based methodology that allows us to quantify both the likelihood and impact of risks, offering precise insights that help translate risk into actionable governance strategies, distinguishing our services from other consultancies.
Our advisors are highly-experienced and specialised in helping shifting your organisation from reactive posture to a structured, proactive risk management strategy that aligns with industry-recognised frameworks like FAIR, NIST CSF, and ISO. We guide you through developing robust, risk-based governance policies that support long-term resilience and a forward-looking, risk-aware culture.
Decision support
Effective cyber security decision-making begins with data-backed insights. Our services empower you to make strategic choices with confidence, from evaluating supplier security to optimising cyber insurance and deciding on outsourcing. Through quantitative analysis, we offer a clear understanding of threat likelihood and impact, guiding you in aligning risk tolerance with operational goals. Each recommendation supports precision and resilience, helping you navigate critical decisions with clarity and control.
Our decision support services include:
- Supplier risk analysis: Helping clients evaluate suppliers’ cyber security and compliance postures, supporting risk-based decision-making in their supply chain.
- Sourcing alternatives analysis: Assessing the risks and benefits of outsourcing versus insourcing, enabling clients to choose the strategy best suited to their risk profile.
- Development project engagement: Offering a risk-focused assessment of proposed digital transformation projects, guiding clients in determining project viability.
- Cyber insurance analysis: Evaluating cyber insurance options with a focus on worst-case scenarios to ensure adequate coverage and align with risk tolerance.
- Mitigation strategy evaluation: Recommending effective risk-reduction strategies that optimise both compliance and risk mitigation within the available resources.
Security and Risk assessment (SARA)
Our Security And Risk Assessments (SARA) provide a comprehensive annual IT risk assessment – an assessment of your organisation’s overall security level. It is designed for companies aiming to gain a holistic view of their IT risk landscape. SARA combines advanced statistical tools and simulations to analyse your cyber risk profile from multiple dimensions. Together, we address critical questions, such as:
- What is the overall risk level for the IT area?
- How has the risk level changed since the last assessment?
- How does the risk level align with our risk tolerance?
- What could be the potential loss in an extreme event (e.g., industry-wide cyber incident)?
- What does a typical loss scenario in the IT area look like and what does it mean for the broader business?
- What is our current level of security, and where do critical vulnerabilities lie?
- How do various types of IT risks compare in terms of severity and likelihood? What does this mean for how we prioritise our resources?
- What risk-reducing measures can we implement to lower the risk level effectively?
SARA provides an in-depth, data-rich foundation by estimating loss and probability across multiple risk areas, incorporating specific measurements alongside publicly available data. This ongoing data refinement keeps your assessments current, enabling you to identify emerging risks, develop focused mitigation strategies, and enhance your organisation’s resilience.
