Cyber Risk Quantification
Calculating the Financial Impact of Cyber Risk
Black Kite automatically quantifies cyber risk in dollars, 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 Cyber Risk Quantification 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, optimized with business-specific context about your unique exposure, to quantify the true financial impact of a breach.
What Can You Quantify? Real-World Scenarios.
Black Kite quantifies the dollars at stake for the scenarios that keep you up at night:
What CRQ Enables
Executive & Board Risk Communication
Translate technical scores into financial exposure using the trusted OpenFAIR™ methodology, enabling executives to clearly understand risk and make decisions based on concrete dollar amounts.
Vendor Outreach & Remediation Prioritization
Prioritize vendor remediation efforts based on potential financial exposure rather than technical scores alone. Focus resources on vendors with the greatest financial impact and potential for business disruption.
Investment Justification & Program Success
Demonstrate how past TPCRM investments such as remediation campaigns have reduced overall financial exposure.
Vendor Comparisons & Negotiations
Use a consistent financial risk language (e.g., “Are we willing to accept $10M vs. $2M of cyber risk in a ransomware scenario?”) to objectively compare vendors, guide selection, and strengthen renewal negotiations.
