The CyberStrong Journey

CyberSaint customers benefit from a continuous, dynamic, and data-driven approach to cyber risk management, ensuring future-proof adaptability and resilience

01

Identify & Benchmark Your Industry Risks

Based on your industry, revenue, and employee size, understand the top risks faced by your industry peers. These inherent risks help you prioritize which risks are most important to address.

Cyber Security Risks

02

Automate Assessments from the Top-Down Based on Your Risks

Use your top Industry Risks to prioritize your control assessment. CyberStrong has already done the mapping for you, allowing you to quickly assess your top controls to measure maturity and identify gaps. Turn on Continuous Control Automation™ to make your assessment update in real-time, and use AI-powered crosswalking to map multiple frameworks, allow you to "assess once, use many".

Risk Mitigation Over Time

03

Quantify Your Risk Posture with Credible Risk Models

Continuously re-evaluate your cyber risk posture by automatically updating your residual risk score through NIST 800-30 or FAIR risk models. Compare your residual risk with the inherent risk of your industry peers to prioritize remediation activities while accounting for financial impact.

Fair Risk Dashboard

04

Communicate Your Risk Posture in Financial Terms

Quantify risk into terms that your board understands: dollars and cents. By displaying your cyber risk posture in financial terms, your Executive team will understand the potential losses associated with your top risks, their likelihood, and the positive impact of cyber initiatives, allowing you to secure investments to reduce your cyber risk exposure.

Executive Team Dashboard

05

Develop, Prioritize, and Track Remediation Plans

Now that you have a list of prioritized gaps and resources, develop remediation projects and measure the Return on Security Investment (RoSI) on your initiatives.. Track project costs, risk reduction, and financial impact mitigated for all your cyber risks.

Ransomware Mitigation

06

Optimize Your Cyber Risk Posture As Your Program Evolves

Continually track your risk progress through your remediation efforts. As top risks enter into acceptable levels, continually add additional risks and controls to your program. This approach creates a prioritized cyber risk management program that matures over time.

The CyberStrong Platform Architecture

Designed to continuously assess, measure, remediate, and communicate cyber risk enterprise-wide, taking into account new security data, additional controls, and newly identified risks as your program matures

Data Sources

The integration of various data sources—automated, manual, and enhanced industry data—serves as the bedrock of the CyberStrong platform. Your security program is producing a goldmine of data coming from your existing security investments (vulnerability, threat, SIEM, IAM, etc.) and cloud service providers (AWS, Azure, etc.). CyberStrong puts this data to work by accessing it via direct API or Data Lake. Manual entry remains an option, accommodating assessors who engage with the platform directly where automation might not be possible, or if you plan to add Continuous Control Automation™ later on. Additionally, CyberStrong integrates the world's most extensive dataset on cyber losses, which is updated monthly, which enables you to compare your risk profile with what's happening in the wild. From day one, we've built CyberStrong to ensure that you make use of all the data at your disposal.

Data Sources

Assess

Starting with the Compliance Hub, leverage our library of control frameworks, enabling the crafting of assessments from predefined and custom controls tailored to your specific needs. This approach facilitates seamless mapping of assessments to industry-standard frameworks such as PCI, ISO, CIS, and more, while also standardizing on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and allowing for automated crosswalking between standards. Users report a 70% average time savings across their assessments, even while using manual input. Adding Continuous Control Automation™ elevates compliance from static to dynamic, scoring controls in real-time as data from your existing tools changes and eliminating a vast amount of time and resource spent on manual assessments. View compliance from diverse perspectives, measure progress towards goals, and track compliance over time. This integration of comprehensive controls, real-time automation, and streamlined processes simplifies compliance management and ensures a robust, adaptable foundation for your cyber risk management program.

Measure

Elevate to the CyberStrong Risk Hub as your cyber risk management maturity journey progresses, integrating cyber risk quantification methodologies like FAIR and NIST 800-30, alongside an intuitive risk register for efficient risk tracking. CyberStrong facilitates this integration, allowing you to use transparent models to translate cyber risk into financial terms, enabling a deeper understanding of potential impacts in a language that business leaders understand. CyberStrong ties controls to risks in the risk register, ensuring that risk re-evaluation is a dynamic process updating residual risk based on your evolving control posture. This approach refines risk assessments and allows for precise risk prioritization. As you accept, transfer, mitigate, and avoid risks, benefit from actionable insights from the world's largest data set on cyber losses by industry, updated monthly for you to benchmark your risks versus those impacting your peers. This data-driven approach ensures you're reducing cyber risk exposure continuously and measuring impact credibly.

FORTUNE 500 CASE STUDY

Quantify Risk. Prioritize Gaps. Reduce Cyber Risk Exposure.

After a 2022 ransomware attack, the CISO needed a solution to serve as the foundation of their new cyber risk management program. The team wanted to track the potential financial loss and impact of cyber risks, prioritize actions, and unlock budget. CyberStrong allowed them to:

Build the foundation of their program off of NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, and the NIST CSF with the ability to add other frameworks
Transition from a spreadsheet-based risk register to a centralized, quantifiable NIST 800-30 risk register for credible cyber risk quantification
Use cyber risk presets to map threats to MITRE TTPs, enhancing risk prioritization by linking TTPs directly to controls
Empower the CISO with a scalable, data-driven solution to spur action and influence decisions
