Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ)

Cyber Risk Quantification is the process of expressing cyber risk in financial terms, translating technical exposure into probable dollar-denominated loss. It enables security teams to communicate risk in the language of business, supporting executive decision-making and resource prioritization. Black Kite uses the Open FAIR™ (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) methodology to produce Financial Impact Ratings across three scenarios: Data Breach, Ransomware, and Business Interruption.
