Overview

history edit build

Cybersecurity Risk & Resilience evaluates how a company anticipates, withstands, responds to and recovers from threats that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of its information and operational-technology systems. It covers:

  • end-to-end risk management - asset inventories, threat modelling, vulnerability assessments and third-party-vendor risk scoring - aligned with frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001/22301 and the EU NIS 2 Directive;
  • layered preventive and detective controls - identity- & access-management, encryption, network segmentation, continuous monitoring, threat hunting and zero-trust architectures - that reduce the likelihood and blast radius of attacks;
  • robust incident-response and crisis-management playbooks including clearly defined decision rights, communications protocols, tabletop exercises, red-/purple-team tests and coordination with law enforcement and regulators;
  • built-in resilience measures - redundant systems, immutable back-ups, disaster-recovery sites, OT/IT segregation, cyber-insurance - designed to meet recovery-time and recovery-point objectives (RTO/RPO) under worst-case scenarios;
  • continuous security-awareness training, culture and supplier engagement to address social-engineering and supply-chain threats;
  • transparent metrics and disclosure (e.g., dwell time, patch-cycle times, incident severity, compliance certifications) that feed into enterprise-risk management and ESG reporting.
