Risk Assessment

Know exactly where you're exposed — and what it costs you to stay that way. We deliver an executive-ready risk report with dollar-impact per finding and a clear 90-day action plan.

Five-Phase Assessment Process

A structured, repeatable methodology that leaves nothing to guesswork. Every phase produces a concrete deliverable.

1
Scoping
Define assessment scope, critical assets, threat actors, and business context. Interview key stakeholders.
2
Discovery
Attack surface mapping, asset inventory, network topology review, and passive reconnaissance.
3
Testing
Vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, social engineering simulation, and MITRE ATT&CK TTP validation.
4
Analysis
Risk scoring, dollar-impact quantification, exploitability assessment, and business impact analysis.
5
Reporting
Executive risk report, technical findings, prioritised risk register, and 90-day remediation roadmap.

What You Get

🎯

MITRE ATT&CK Threat Modelling

We map your threat landscape to the MITRE ATT&CK framework — identifying which adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) your current controls can and cannot detect or prevent.

🗺️

Attack Surface Mapping

Full external and internal attack surface enumeration — internet-exposed assets, open ports, cloud misconfigurations, identity attack paths, and third-party integrations.

🔓

Vulnerability Assessment & Pen Testing

Authenticated vulnerability scans plus manual penetration testing — external network, internal network, web application, and social engineering. We go beyond scanning to demonstrate real exploitability.

📋

Prioritised Risk Register

Every finding is scored by severity, exploitability, and dollar-impact. Your risk register is prioritised so your team knows exactly what to fix first — and why it matters in business terms.

💼

Business Impact Analysis

For each critical risk, we quantify the potential business impact — downtime cost, regulatory fine exposure, reputational damage, and customer data liability — using industry data and your specific financials.

🛣️

90-Day Remediation Roadmap

A sequenced, week-by-week action plan for your team. Not a list of recommendations — a real project plan with owners, dependencies, success criteria, and estimated effort for each remediation item.

Risk Matrix

Every assessment produces a visual risk matrix showing severity distribution across your environment. Executives see the full picture at a glance. Technical teams get granular detail underneath.

Critical
Immediate action · avg $420K exposure
Typically 2–4 findings per engagement
High
30-day remediation · avg $180K exposure
Typically 5–9 findings per engagement
Medium
90-day remediation · avg $55K exposure
Typically 10–18 findings per engagement
Low
Scheduled maintenance · monitor
Typically 15–30 findings per engagement
Sample Risk Register — Top Findings

AI-Powered Risk Assessment FAQ

A scanner finds potential vulnerabilities. A risk assessment determines which ones actually matter to your business — and why. We combine scanning with manual penetration testing, business context, dollar-impact quantification, and expert analysis. A scanner produces a list. We produce decisions.
We schedule active testing during low-traffic windows and coordinate with your IT team. We use a pre-agreed scope and rules of engagement to ensure no production disruption. All testing is done with explicit written authorisation. In 200+ assessments, we've never caused unplanned downtime.
For a typical SMB (50–500 employees, single site, cloud + on-prem environment): 2–3 weeks for active assessment, plus 1 week for report preparation. Total engagement: approximately 3–4 weeks from kick-off to final report delivery and debrief.
Yes — and we recommend it. A validation scan 60–90 days after the initial assessment confirms remediation was effective and re-scores your risk posture. Many clients schedule annual full assessments with a mid-year validation scan included.
