Unified Cyber Risk Management (UCRM)
Cyber risk – managed as a business risk
Cyber security has become one of the most significant and complex risks facing organisations. Yet increasing investment in technology does not necessarily mean that cyber risk is being effectively managed.
Too often, cyber security is approached through individual technical solutions, bolt on tools, compliance activities and isolated projects without a clear connection to the organisation’s actual risk profile, business priorities or risk appetite, often resulting in overlap of products resulting in over expenditure without the understanding of what is protecting what, how it’s being protected and is the cyber security Return on Investment effective and efficient?
OspreyCIS brings Osprey International’s risk management experience into the cyber domain, helping organisations understand the risk they face, determine the level of protection they need, and direct investment and activity towards achieving and maintaining that position.
Osprey International has been helping organisations manage risk in complex, regulated and high-consequence environments since 1998. OspreyCIS applies the same risk-led approach to cyber security: understand the context first, define your appropriate cyber maturity target, then build a company specific uplift pathway.
From cyber activity to cyber risk management
Osprey International leadership programmes focus on developing the individual’s resilience to demanding and uncertain situations, while developing a leaders ability to develop the same in their people. Programmes tailor related themes into an intervention that meets the need of each workplace in terms of themes and methods of facilitation/delivery.
Our approach delivers four clear outcomes:
A clearly defined cyber risk position
Understand the threats that matter to your organisation, your risk appetite, current cyber maturity and the gap between where you are and where you need to be.
Relevant and costed treatment options
Develop governance, cultural and technical options that address the identified gap, prioritised according to risk and framed for the people responsible for making the decision.
Supported implementation
OspreyCIS can facilitate, support or project-manage implementation, working with your existing internal teams, MSPs and technology providers rather than unnecessarily replacing them.
Clear reporting and assurance
Translate cyber activity into meaningful reporting for boards, executives, management and technical teams, keeping strategic decisions connected to what is actually being implemented and achieved.
Set the target. Close the gap. Maintain the position
Through OspreyCIS, organisations can move from fragmented and reactive cyber activity to an ongoing risk-based maturity management model.
The process establishes an appropriate cyber risk and maturity target, assesses the current position against that target, prioritise the work required to close the gap, and then provides an ongoing framework for maintaining the required position as vulnerabilities, threats and business requirements change.
This means cyber investment can be directed towards what matters most; progress can be measured against an agreed target, and leaders can see the connection between cyber expenditure, operational activity and risk reduction.
Partnered with Cyber Intelligence Solutions
Osprey has partnered with Cyber Intelligence Solutions (CIS), a specialist cyber security services and technology provider, bringing together Osprey’s risk management, governance and operational experience with CIS’s specialist cyber capability and Unified Cyber Risk Management (UCRM) methodology and technology platform.
UCRM provides an integrated approach to set, achieve and maintain appropriate levels of cyber security, bringing together risk management, maturity assessment, uplift planning, technical insights and reporting within a common risk framework. It is vendor agnostic and designed to work with an organisation’s existing tools, data and service providers.
Together, OspreyCIS and CIS combine business-led risk management with deep cyber expertise, providing a practical bridge between board-level risk decisions, operational management and technical execution.
Control risk. Demonstrate compliance. Build resilience
Cyber security should not be a collection of disconnected technical activities. It should be a managed business risk, with a clear target, accountable decisions, prioritised action and evidence of progress.
