The problem

Where teams get stuck

Most risk registers are colour-coded opinions. Likelihood and impact are guessed, mitigations are unverified, and executives lose trust in the risk function. Insurance and regulators want evidence.

The KeenSafe approach

How we engage

KeenSafe risk assessments use validated attack paths to ground likelihood and exploitability. Business impact is mapped to crown-jewel systems, not generic asset criticality. The output is a risk register that defends itself in front of an auditor, an insurer or a board.

Methodology

Four-step engagement model

Same rigour every engagement, calibrated to your environment, threat model and regulatory exposure.

STEP 01

Crown-jewel mapping

Business-critical processes, data and systems mapped to identifiable assets.

STEP 02

Validated likelihood

Likelihood grounded in actual exploitable paths from the platform — not a guess.

STEP 03

Impact scoring

Per-crown-jewel financial, regulatory, operational and reputational impact.

STEP 04

Defensible register

Audit-, regulator- and insurer-ready risk register with evidence references.

What you get

Deliverables

Every engagement ships these outputs — reproducible, evidence-backed and ready for executives, engineers and auditors.

Crown-jewel risk register

Per-asset risks, validated likelihood, impact and mitigation status.

Third-party / supply-chain layer

Vendor and integration risks tied to actual attack-path exposure.

Insurance & regulator narrative

Evidence-backed narrative for insurers, auditors and sectoral regulators.

Treatment plan

Risk treatment options with cost / impact / residual modelling.

Scope of engagement

What this engagement covers

Concrete coverage. Clear boundaries. Optional add-on tracks where customers want to extend.

  • Treatment plan: risk-treatment options with cost / impact / residual modelling
  • Insurance + reinsurance narrative aligned to renewal questionnaires
  • Third-party / supply-chain risk layer

Common questions

Frequently asked

Quantitative or qualitative?
We default to a hybrid: qualitative scoring grounded in validated likelihood plus quantitative monetary impact for crown jewels. We also support FAIR-compatible quantitative-only models.
Will this satisfy our insurer?
Yes — the validated-likelihood + crown-jewel-impact format is what insurers and reinsurers increasingly request, and we tailor the output to their templates.
