GuidePoint Security has introduced its Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) service, designed to help organizations assess and manage cybersecurity threats through financial impact modeling. This proprietary service addresses the growing need for clear, data-driven risk evaluation in the face of increasingly complex cyber threats and tighter security budgets. Unlike traditional methods that rely on subjective heat maps or qualitative scores, CRQ translates cyber risk into concrete financial terms, enabling security leaders to better communicate with executives and boards. “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.”

The service is built on the FAIR™ (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) framework and incorporates AI and automation to streamline traditionally manual processes. Key features of the CRQ offering include financial risk modeling to pinpoint high-impact threats, board-ready insights to align stakeholders, risk-based prioritization to guide mitigation efforts, and budget optimization to support strategic spending. Additionally, the service offers insurance support through defensible loss projections, integration of third-party risk assessments, and audit-ready documentation for compliance needs. CRQ is scalable across industries and organization sizes, and can be implemented alongside existing risk frameworks. Whether companies are initiating or advancing their risk quantification strategies, the service provides a clear, consistent, and business-aligned approach. “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.”
