Managed Cyber Risk

Improve oversight and ownership of your cyber risk and accelerate your journey towards real-time quantified cyber risk management capability with our Managed Cyber Risk (MCR) solution.

The cyber security industry has spent the last 20+ years trying to improve the way it can quantify and manage cyber risk. But there are still no established industry good practices so we are looking to set the benchmark.

Our MCR solution includes cyber risk advisory and managed services enabled by a tech platform powered by Microsoft. Complementing your existing governance, risk and compliance (GRC) investments, we can support you in accelerating time to operationalise a cyber risk management framework.
