New offering empowers business and security teams to align on risk, optimize investments and proactively strengthen security posture
RESTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#cyber—GuidePoint Security, a cybersecurity solutions leader enabling organizations to make smarter decisions and minimize risk, announced today the launch of its Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) service—a proprietary assessment designed to help organizations identify, prioritize and reduce cyber risk using financial impact modeling.
As cyber threats grow more complex and security budgets face greater scrutiny, GuidePoint’s CRQ service replaces guesswork with clear, data-backed insights that show exactly how cyber risks translate into potential financial loss. By quantifying cyber risk in financial terms—not colors or abstract scores—CRQ empowers teams to shift from reactive defense to proactive risk management.
“Security leaders often struggle to convey risk in a way that resonates with boards and executives. Many organizations still rely on vague heat maps or subjective, qualitative scoring to gauge cyber risk—methods that simply don’t cut it anymore,” said Ben Moreland, Director, Cyber Risk Practice at GuidePoint Security. “By quantifying cyber risk in financial terms, CRQ gives security and business leaders a shared, data-driven view of risk—so they can prioritize smarter, justify spending and reduce exposure with confidence.”
Built on the trusted FAIRTM (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) framework, GuidePoint’s CRQ combines deep practitioner expertise with AI and automation to simplify complex, traditionally manual risk modeling. The result is faster, more accurate and repeatable assessments that can scale across complex environments.
GuidePoint Security’s new CRQ offering includes:
- Financial Risk Modeling: Quantified cyber risk to identify which threats carry the highest potential loss and why–enabling smarter budget allocation and cyber risk buy-down.
- Board-Ready Insights: Standardized, repeatable outputs that translate technical risks into business impact, supporting aligned decision-making across executive, risk and security teams.
- Risk-Based Prioritization: A holistic view to focus mitigation efforts on the most financially significant threats, reducing residual and operational risk.
- Budget Optimization: Detailed financial metrics to help align cybersecurity investments with organizational priorities and support more informed resource allocation.
- Insurance Support: Defensible loss projections and scenario models that help your legal and broker teams negotiate better coverage terms.
- Third-Party Risk Integration: Include third-party risk in enterprise-wide assessments for a complete view of organizational exposure.
- Audit-Ready Documentation: Quantitative reporting that supports regulatory, compliance and audit requirements with transparency.
GuidePoint’s CRQ service is made to scale across organizations of all industries, sectors and sizes, and integrates seamlessly with existing risk management frameworks. Whether organizations are just beginning to explore cyber risk quantification or seeking to refine existing programs, CRQ delivers a defensible, business-aligned approach that supports long-term resilience.
“With CRQ, we’re helping organizations measure and manage risk,” added Moreland. “It’s about giving teams the clarity and confidence to act decisively—before an incident happens.”
