Security risk isn't a feeling — it's a number. How likely is a ransomware attack? What would it cost? Which systems are most exposed? Which investments reduce the most risk per dollar? Most organizations make security decisions based on fear, vendor pitches, or the last headline they read. Forged provides quantified risk assessments that translate technical vulnerabilities into business impact — giving your leadership team the data they need to make informed investment decisions instead of guessing.
Risk expressed in dollars, not color-coded heat maps. Annualized loss expectancy, single loss expectancy, and probability calculations for your specific threat scenarios. Numbers your CFO can budget against.
Identification of threats relevant to your industry, geography, and business model — paired with an assessment of your vulnerabilities to those specific threats. Not generic risk registers — your actual risk profile.
Risk-prioritized investment plan — which controls reduce the most risk for the least cost. A roadmap your leadership can approve because every recommendation has a quantified business justification.
Board-ready risk dashboards showing current exposure, trend direction, risk reduction from completed initiatives, and remaining gap. Security posture translated into language executives and board members understand.
System-by-system analysis of what a disruption would cost — lost revenue, productivity impact, contractual penalties, regulatory fines, and reputational damage. The foundation for both risk management and disaster recovery.
Evaluating the security risk introduced by your vendors, partners, and supply chain. Risk scoring, questionnaire management, contract requirements, and ongoing monitoring of your third-party ecosystem.
We define what's being assessed, which methodology we'll use, and how results will be communicated. Methodology matched to your audience — FAIR for quantitative, NIST for framework alignment, or hybrid approaches.
We identify your critical assets, the threats most likely to target them, and the vulnerabilities that would allow those threats to succeed. Not a generic threat list — a model specific to your industry, size, and technology profile.
Each risk scenario quantified with probability and impact — expressed in financial terms. Not 'high/medium/low' color codes, but dollar figures your leadership can compare against the cost of mitigation.
Findings translated into a prioritized action plan and executive reporting package. Risk tracked over time — showing whether your security investments are actually reducing exposure or just checking boxes.
Comprehensive analysis of your risk landscape — threat scenarios, vulnerability exposure, quantified impact, and current control effectiveness. The definitive document for your security investment decisions.
Living inventory of all identified risks with owner, probability, impact, current controls, residual risk score, and treatment plan. Updated quarterly and used as the management tool for ongoing risk decisions.
Visual representation of your risk posture — top risks, trend direction, risk reduction from completed initiatives, and comparison to industry benchmarks. One page that tells the whole story.
Prioritized list of recommended security investments ranked by risk reduction per dollar. Each recommendation includes cost estimate, implementation timeline, and expected risk reduction.
System-by-system downtime cost analysis — revenue impact, productivity loss, contractual penalties, and recovery costs. Drives both security investment priorities and disaster recovery planning.
Every critical vendor assessed and risk-scored. Security gaps identified, contractual requirements recommended, and ongoing monitoring frequency established based on vendor criticality.
Your board wants to understand cyber risk in business terms — not technical jargon. Quantified risk assessment provides the numbers and visualizations that drive informed governance decisions.
Requesting budget for security tools, staff, or services and need to justify the investment. Risk quantification shows the cost of inaction versus the cost of the proposed solution.
Insurers increasingly want evidence of risk assessment and management. A formal risk assessment demonstrates the maturity carriers look for when underwriting your policy and setting premiums.
HIPAA, CMMC, NIST, and ISO 27001 all require formal risk assessments. We deliver the assessment and the documentation that satisfies auditor requirements.
Acquiring or merging with another organization. A risk assessment reveals their security exposure — and by extension, what you're inheriting — before the deal closes.
Mature organizations reassess risk annually — new threats, changed infrastructure, and evolving business objectives all shift the risk landscape. Year-over-year tracking proves program effectiveness.
