Plain language,
no decoder ring.

Core3's engagement that measures your cyber risk in dollars: what a cyber event would be expected to cost you, and a ranked plan to reduce it.

A senior security leader who runs your program on a retained basis. The market calls this a virtual or fractional CISO. The difference with Core3 is that we own the outcome and report against our own commitments.

Core3's three layers: establish where you stand, build and run the program, and demonstrate that it is working.

Core3 serving as your named, accountable security executive: the name on the SOC 2, and the person auditors, regulators, customers, and the board get answers from.

Expressing cyber risk in financial terms instead of a high, medium, or low rating, so it can be weighed like any other business risk.

The model behind the number: expected loss by category, built from your profile and set against your insurance coverage.

What you would expect cyber incidents to cost over a year, across the scenarios modeled. A planning figure, not a prediction of any single event.

The risk that remains after the priority actions are done. What is still on the table once you have acted.

How much risk a given investment removes, set against what it costs, so spending can be ranked by financial benefit rather than fear.

The level of cyber risk leadership decides is acceptable to carry. The line the program is governed against.

As measured exposure falls, the capital a company holds against that risk can be adjusted, freeing money to redeploy.

A widely used cybersecurity framework. Core3 assesses against it, then crosswalks the results to the other frameworks and questionnaires you get asked about.

How well a security control actually works, confirmed by independent testing rather than taken on faith.

Answering a control requirement once and mapping that evidence to many frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI, CIS) and customer questionnaires.

Common security attestations and certifications that enterprise customers and partners ask you to produce.

A retained program that runs governance, risk, and compliance on an ongoing basis, keeping evidence current instead of scrambling at audit time.

Governing the risk carried by the vendors and partners you rely on: what they can reach, and what you are on the hook for.

The plan, playbooks, and roles for handling a security incident, so a bad day runs on preparation rather than improvisation.

A rehearsal that walks leadership through a realistic incident scenario end to end, with an after-action report at the finish.

The vetted delivery partners who perform hands-on technical work under Core3's direction, so the party that validates the controls is not the one that installed them.
