What I do

Six ways to make better risk decisions

Each service translates cyber risk into the language of business — dollars, probabilities, and outcomes your executives can act on.

Decision-Ready Risk Portfolios

Quantify your top risks in dollars, probabilities, and outcomes so executives can make informed choices — not rely on colour-coded intuition.

Board & Executive Reporting

Complex risks translated into clear, concise visuals — loss exceedance curves and ROI of controls — packaged for boards and audit committees.

Peer Benchmarking

Compare your risk posture and controls against industry adoption rates and best practices, with financial context for every gap.

Rapid Risk Assessments

Fast-turnaround analysis of ransomware, outages, or emerging risks — delivered in weeks, not months. For boards that need to respond now.

Control Investment ROI

Show which controls reduce the most risk per dollar spent, enabling smarter budget allocation with CFO-ready financial justification.

Training & Advisory Support

Executive briefings, analyst workshops, and reusable templates to help your team adopt CRQ and build the capability in-house.

How it works

The engagement process

01
Scoping call
A 30-minute conversation to understand your threat profile, decision context, and the question your board needs answered.
02
Data & calibration
Structured workshops to gather asset valuations, threat intelligence, and control effectiveness — calibrated to your environment and financials.
03
Model & analysis
FAIR-based actuarial modelling producing probability-weighted loss distributions, ALE calculations, and scenario-level risk ranking.
04
Board deliverable
A concise executive output with loss exceedance curves, control ROI analysis, and a reusable model your team can refresh independently.
My approach

"Cyber risk is a financial problem. It deserves financial tools."
