Industry-Specific Reports

M&A Control Assessments

During the due diligence phase, our team of experts conducts detailed assessments to uncover potential cyber threats and control gaps introduced by new data types or IT system integrations.

This granular approach looks at which controls are most efficient at which stage of the kill chain or loss event and where you can improve these controls to reduce the financial impact of a cyber incident.

When you have a specific decision to make, we use CRQ methodologies to address the critical digital assets and value chain to determine which investments could reduce the financial impact of cyber and technology risk.

FAQ

CRQ CONSULTING & ADVISORY SOLUTIONS FAQ

Here are some answers to your commonly asked questions.

Does C-Risk have a proprietary tool for CRQ?

C-Risk is tool agnostic. There are several quality FAIR-based CRQ tools on the market and we are train to use them. Our cyber risk experts can help you choose and implement the best tool or platform or we can work with the tool you already use. We also provide training in the tools so that your team can become independent, if that is your goal.

Do I have to choose between quantitative and qualitative risk management?

Of course not! If you are just beginning a CRQ journey, quantitative data, for example, can enrich your traditional risk registers with data points for more informed decision-making and prioritization.

What is the FAIR™ methodology?

FAIR is a taxonomy and quantitative risk analysis model for cybersecurity and operational risk that helps organizations measure, manage and communicate risk in financial terms.
