Measurable security outcomes, not vendor theatre.
A predictable cadence, not a black box.
Scope
We agree the outcome, constraints, and success measures.
Build
We execute in focused sprints with visible progress.
Review
Honest checkpoints against the measures we set.

Security Posture
Turn on controls and watch residual risk fall. Illustrative model, not a security assessment.

Indicative control coverage, not a compliance certification.
How this is calculated
FrameworkNIST CSF 2.0 + CIS Controls v8.1 + FAIR residual risk, weighted by Verizon DBIR breach-vector prevalence.
Residual risk starts at 100; each enabled control subtracts a weight reflecting how often its absence shows up in real breaches:
- Multi-factor authentication — 24 (credential abuse is the #1 vector, DBIR)
- Network segmentation — 20 (limits lateral movement, FAIR loss magnitude)
- Continuous monitoring — 18 (cuts dwell time, NIST CSF Detect)
- Patch cadence — 14 (vulnerability exploitation, the #2 vector)
- Security training — 12 (phishing / the human element)
Residual risk is floored at 8 — it is never zero (FAIR). Illustrative model, not a security assessment.
Each control maps to a NIST CSF 2.0 function and an NCA ECC domain:
- Multi-factor authentication → PR.AA (NIST) · Identity & Access Mgmt (NCA ECC)
- Network segmentation → PR.IR (NIST) · Network Security (NCA ECC)
- Continuous monitoring → DE.CM (NIST) · Event Logs & Monitoring (NCA ECC)
- Patch cadence → ID.RA / PR.PS (NIST) · Vulnerability Mgmt (NCA ECC)
- Security training → PR.AT (NIST) · Awareness & Training (NCA ECC)
The coverage badges fill as those controls are enabled. Indicative coverage only, not a compliance certification.
We'll map your gaps to NCA ECC, SAMA and NESA requirements.
