Risk Assessment & Cyber Risk Quantification

Service overview

A vulnerability list is not a risk assessment. Sitoo Advisory delivers CDPSE-certified risk assessments that translate technical findings into business decisions — quantified by financial impact, prioritized by regulatory exposure, and presented in language your leadership team can act on.

Executive Summary

Technical Findings, Translated to Business Decisions.

A 200-line vulnerability report is not actionable. Sitoo Advisory produces risk assessments that name the top three exposures, quantify their financial impact, map them to your regulatory obligations, and recommend treatment in language your CEO and board can act on without translation.

Business Problem Solved

Risk Decisions Made Without a Risk Register.

If you can’t produce a current risk register on request, your risk decisions are ad hoc, undocumented, and unaccountable — and your cyber insurance carrier, auditor, or board is about to notice. Sitoo Advisory builds the register, quantifies the top exposures, and gives leadership the artifact they need to govern.

Who This Is For

Is This Right for Your Business?

Companies preparing a cyber insurance application requiring documented risk posture
Businesses that have received a pen test report but don’t know what to prioritize first
Leadership teams that need risk translated into financial and operational impact language
Organizations with compliance obligations requiring documented risk assessments
Boards and investors requiring evidence of active cyber risk management
Common Pain Points

What We Fix

Findings with no business context

Your pen test report lists 200 vulnerabilities. Nobody knows which three actually threaten the business or how to explain the exposure to leadership.

No risk register

Risk decisions are made ad hoc, undocumented, and without ownership. When auditors or insurers ask for your risk register, it doesn’t exist.

Cyber insurance gap

Your insurer is asking for documentation of controls, risk assessments, and incident response capability. You have none of it in a form they will accept.

Controls that exist on paper but don’t work

Your policies say access is reviewed quarterly. Your firewall is supposed to block data exfiltration. Neither has been validated.

Current vs. target maturity scores per NIST CSF function and CIS Controls domain — IG tier coverage gaps identified, per-control scoring (1–5), and a prioritized sequence for reaching your defined target posture.

Validated control effectiveness
