Risk Assessments
Focused risk assessments sized to business impact, not just technical severity scores.
What This Is
A targeted assessment when you need depth on one specific decision, a new vendor, a product launch, an acquisition, a growing third-party risk backlog, rather than a full program review. Every finding is sized to what it actually means for your business: the realistic exposure, what it would cost if it happened, and what it takes to close the gap.
Is This the Right Fit
- Onboarding a critical vendor or acquiring a company and need a risk read before the deal closes
- Launching a new product or entering a new market with unfamiliar exposure
- Your third-party risk backlog has grown unmanageable with no way to prioritize it
- A cyber insurance underwriter or major customer requires a documented assessment
What You'll Have
- A scoped risk register with business-impact sizing
- Prioritized remediation or risk-acceptance recommendations
- An executive summary built for a deal team, board, or underwriter
- A reusable third-party risk scoring methodology, where relevant
“Before you close this deal, launch this product, or sign this vendor, you should know exactly what you're taking on, and what it costs to close the gap.”
Also Consider
Custom Security Advisory (if the need is broader than one domain but not yet a full retainer)
Program Assessment & Roadmap (a broader baseline if this reveals systemic issues)
Privacy & Compliance Alignment (for vendor and data-related findings)
Fractional CISO Leadership (ongoing ownership of the resulting risk register)
This works as a standalone engagement or as a workstream inside Fractional CISO Leadership. Let's talk about which fits.
