- CRQ as a managed service (definition of main risk scenarios, financial impact and controls that help reduce those risks)
- CRQ Consulting services
- Training services – from an Executive brief on Cyber Risk to full training on the FAIR™ standard taxonomy and methodology.
At the end of 2022, C-Risk closed a seed round of funding to accelerate its growth in the enterprise market and develop new offers targeted at mid-sized companies.
