Governance, Risk & Compliance

Security Investment & Risk Quantification

Cyber risk expressed in euros, so the board can make a real decision.

The situation

Most security investment decisions are made on instinct and analogy because nobody has translated the exposure into a number the finance function recognises.

We build that translation: a quantified loss model, a defensible budget, and a board pack that argues in the language the board already uses. Grounded in first-hand design of directorate cost models, service pricing and internal chargeback mechanisms for a portfolio of more than ninety digital solutions inside the European Commission.
