Cyber Risk Quantification
Calculating the Financial Impact of Cyber Risk
Black Kite automatically quantifies cyber risk in dollars and cents, giving security, risk, and executive teams a shared language to understand financial exposure across the entire ecosystem and act decisively.
You Can’t Prioritize What You Can’t Price
Boards hear endless cyber briefings. What really resonates? "A breach with this vendor could cost us $30 million."
Without a common language to translate vendor exposure into business impact (the language of money), it’s nearly impossible to rally stakeholders around prioritizing actions.
The future of decision making is financial.
While technical data remains foundational, financial risk is becoming the leading metric for decision making, driven by executive leadership and the board. Future risk decisions, from onboarding to insurance, are increasingly evaluated through the lens of probable financial loss.
Turn Risk Decisions into Business Decisions
Black Kite’s Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) solution turns vendor risk into a clear business conversation. Fully automated, Black Kite eliminates the complexity and manual effort typically associated with CRQ analysis, empowering organizations to instantly weigh risk versus revenue.
Measure Cyber Risk in Financial Terms
Based on Open FAIR™, the Gold Standard
Built on the only international standard Value at Risk (VaR) model for cybersecurity and operational risk. Black Kite applies Open FAIR™-based risk modeling to quantify the true financial impact of a breach.
Fully Automated Financial Impact Calculations
Black Kite automatically estimates probable financial impact across key risk scenarios: ransomware, data breach, and business interruption. Never start with a blank model - Open FAIR™ factors are automatically populated using continuous monitoring data, assessment responses, and uploaded documentation.
Understand Risk Trends Over Time
Track how a vendor’s financial risk changes by comparing real-time CRQ from continuous monitoring and point-in-time CRQ calculated as part of the assessment workflow to get an understanding of vendor risk over time.
What-If Scenario Analysis
Customize exposure metrics and FAIR inputs to model different business assumptions. For example, instantly simulate how sharing more or fewer records with a vendor impacts probable financial impact and use those insights to set clear vendor approval conditions.
