Informed
You want a read, not a seat in decisions.
- Companies own execution
- Sponsor gets an aggregated read on posture and exposure
- No operational data pulled centrally
For sponsors and multi-entity groups
One risk model.
One risk model.
Every company in the portfolio.
Private equity firms, holding companies, and any group managing cyber risk across many entities face the same problem: a stack of security reports that do not compare. Core3 puts every company on one model and one operating view, so the sponsor can see the whole portfolio on a single page.
Thirty assessments
are not a portfolio view.
Running a single-company assessment thirty or a hundred times does not produce a portfolio view. It produces thirty or a hundred separate reports the sponsor cannot line up against each other. Every company sits at a different point on its cyber journey, and most are reluctant to hand operational data up to the sponsor. The result is a portfolio the sponsor cannot actually see, let alone govern.
The whole portfolio,
on one page.
What the sponsor asked for, who has done it, and where exposure is heading. Sortable by fund, industry, or region, with the biggest gaps first.
The sponsor's priorities, pinned
The sponsor decides what matters most, whether MFA, asset management, or board reporting, and pins it to the top for every company.
Completion, tracked
Once the sponsor sets a priority, the view reports who has done it and who has not. Rollout status per company, without a call to each one.
Direction of travel
Whether exposure is rising or falling over time, per company and across the whole book.
Mapped to a standard
Every action mapped to NIST CSF 2.0. No custom vocabulary the next sponsor has to relearn.
Portfolio exposure at a glance
Total cyber risk across the portfolio in dollars, and how much each company contributes to it.
Ranked by financial benefit
Everything else that moves exposure, ordered by the risk it removes, so priorities stay honest.
Company view, too
Each company sees where it stands and its own ranked list of next actions, so the program is useful to them, not just to the sponsor.
The same view surfaces duplicated spend. Where several companies carry separate tools closing the same gap, the overlap shows across the book as well as inside one company, so consolidation can be priced before it is proposed.
How the sponsor view itself is secured is part of the first conversation.
Every company enters
at the depth it's ready for.
Each company enters at whatever depth it can support today, on the same model underneath. The portfolio view is useful at every stage, and it sharpens as companies engage more deeply.
-
Rank the book
Start from existing assessments
Companies share an assessment they already have. Core3 loads it into the model. No interviews and no new work, just enough to rank the portfolio and know where to focus first.
-
Sharpen it
Validate with real evidence
Deeper engagement with the companies that warrant it: control effectiveness confirmed against live evidence from the tools they already run, not accepted on faith.
-
Keep it current
A live portfolio view
A continuous cadence across the portfolio. The sponsor sees change as it happens, each company sees its own trajectory, and no one faces an annual scramble.
It flexes to how
your firm runs.
The model configures around your operating style, and it evolves as your comfort grows.
Active
Cyber is part of your value creation.
- Sponsor sets the minimum standard
- Pins the priorities and tracks execution
- Central visibility of movement across the book
Mixed
Different companies, different modes.
- Engage the companies with active gaps
- Oversee the strong performers
Value on day one.
Sharper every quarter.
The first baseline gives the sponsor a portfolio-wide position on day one: where each company stands, what has been done, and a first exposure estimate. It is exactly that, a starting point: as live evidence and deeper data come in, the estimate sharpens from an initial estimate into a validated read, and the story gets stronger every quarter. The first improvements land quickly, and over time they compound into a track record the sponsor can put in front of fund investors.
Start with a pilot cohort.
Prove it, then scale.
Begin with a small first cohort across a range of maturities, prove the model on that cohort, then roll it out in waves. It starts with a short scoping call, ideally with one portfolio company's security lead in the room.
