Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
Know what to fix first. With math.
Cybersecurity risk assessment using quantitative methods (FAIR) and qualitative frameworks (ISO 27005, NIST 800-30). Outcome: a prioritized risk register your board can act on, not a 200-page document nobody reads.
- FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk)
- ISO 27005:2022
- NIST SP 800-30
- OCTAVE Allegro
Compliance is leverage, not paperwork.
Most risk assessments produce paperwork, not decisions. Macksofy uses FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) to express risk in financial terms — letting you compare a $4M expected loss against a $200K control investment with executive clarity.
- Boards needing quantitative risk for investment decisions
- M&A due diligence (target-side or acquirer-side)
- Pre-product-launch risk assessment
- Annual risk-register update (ISO 27001 / NIST CSF)
- Cyber insurance underwriting evidence
Aligned to the regulations that matter.

The shape of a Risk Assessment engagement.
Every number below is grounded in how Macksofy actually runs the engagement — not aspirational marketing copy.
What we actually examine.
Each pillar is a distinct workstream inside the engagement — scoped, evidenced, and signed off independently before the audit pack is assembled.
- Asset & process inventory3 pts
- Threat & vulnerability ID3 pts
- Impact & likelihood scoring3 pts
- Treatment plan3 pts
- Residual risk acceptance3 pts
- Continuous monitoring3 pts
You cannot rank risk on assets you do not know exist.
- Critical business-process catalogue
- Asset → process → data linkage
- Crown-jewel + revenue-impact ranking
Threat-modelling married to your real attack surface.
- STRIDE / PASTA threat models
- MITRE ATT&CK technique applicability
- Vulnerability + misconfig baseline
Quantified where possible, qualitative where appropriate.
- Quantitative risk (₹ revenue / penalty exposure)
- Qualitative likelihood (CIS-RAM aligned)
- Sensitivity / what-if scenarios
Treat / transfer / accept / avoid — with evidence behind each call.
- Per-risk treatment decision + owner
- Control selection + effort estimate
- Insurance & contractual transfer review
Documented sign-off so the board has clarity, not surprises.
- Residual risk register + tolerance bands
- Executive / board sign-off pack
- Trigger conditions for re-assessment
Risk is dynamic — your view of it should be too.
- KRI / KPI dashboard
- Quarterly recalibration cadence
- Material-change re-assessment trigger

“We've worked with three Big 4 firms before Macksofy. None found what their team did in our payments stack. The most actionable report we've received in a decade.”
“The CHFI training Macksofy delivered for our cyber cell raised investigation quality measurably. Practical, India-context-aware, and respectful of our operational realities.”
“Came in with zero security background. 5 weeks later I was running Burp Suite and Metasploit confidently. Cleared CEH on the first attempt.”
