- Critical Start has introduced the Cyber Risk Register to help organizations identify, track, and reduce cyber risks effectively.
- The Cyber Risk Register is a key component of Critical Start’s Managed Cyber Risk Reduction strategy.
In a press release on May 1, 2024, Critical Start announced the upcoming availability of the Cyber Risk Register, a tool that allows organizations to assess, track, reduce, accept, and communicate cyber risk posture and improvements. The Cyber Risk Register is a SaaS offering that categorizes risks by severity, maps them to security controls, and tracks risk treatment plans and approvals. It provides clear visibility into an organization’s current risk posture based on objective evidence.
Many organizations currently rely on spreadsheets or manual processes for risk management, leading to incomplete risk pictures and lack of timely metrics. The Cyber Risk Register aims to address these challenges by providing efficient solutions for consolidating risk information, metrics, and reporting. This tool enables security leaders to easily prioritize actions to meet their organization’s risk tolerance and protect against threats.
Key benefits of the Cyber Risk Register include clear risk visibility and reporting, managing logical workspaces for business contexts, efficient risk governance with automated reminders and approval workflows, a secured document library, time savings for security leaders, and continuous improvement through metrics and trends. The Cyber Risk Register is set to be generally available later in the summer.
Critical Start, a pioneer in Managed Cyber Risk Reduction solutions, aims to help organizations align their cyber protection measures with their risk appetite. By providing a holistic cyber risk monitoring platform and a human-led risk and security operations team, Critical Start enables businesses to proactively protect their critical assets with measurable ROI. With over 8 years of experience in Managed Detection and Response services, Critical Start is dedicated to helping organizations achieve the highest level of cyber risk reduction for every dollar invested.
