MCP Cyber Risk Assurance
MCP Cyber Risk Assurance is an independent, evidence-driven assessment that determines whether an organization’s cybersecurity controls actually reduce risk — or whether confidence is based on assumption, inertia, or luck.
Why Cybersecurity Confidence Often Fails
Most organizations have invested heavily in cybersecurity controls — email security, identity platforms, backups, logging, and response plans.
What they often lack is assurance that these controls work together to meaningfully reduce risk under real attack conditions.
Metrics, dashboards, and compliance reports describe activity. They do not confirm whether risk is actually constrained.
What MCP Cyber Risk Assurance Is — and Is Not
- An executive-level cyber risk assurance assessment
- Independent of vendors, tools, and implementations
- Focused on exposure, confidence, and consequence
- Designed for boards, CISOs, auditors, and insurers
- Not a security tool or platform
- Not a penetration test or red team exercise
- Not a compliance checklist
- Not a promise of breach prevention
How Assurance Is Established
Email Security Assurance
Determines whether attackers can convincingly impersonate the organization through email despite existing authentication and policy controls.
Identity Risk Assurance
Evaluates whether identities, privileges, and access paths could be abused to cause material harm without timely detection or containment.
Ransomware Recoverability Assurance
Assesses whether the organization can recover from a ransomware event within real business tolerances — not assumed ones.
What an Engagement Looks Like
An MCP Cyber Risk Assurance engagement starts with an executive intake to align scope, assumptions, and objectives. Evidence is collected across defined risk domains and evaluated independently. Findings are then correlated to show how controls function together in real-world scenarios. The engagement concludes with an executive-level risk narrative to support board discussions, audit reviews, and insurance assessments. Optional follow-up discussions are available to clarify implications and governance considerations.
Who This Is Designed For
- CISOs and security leaders seeking decision-grade clarity
- CIOs aligning cyber risk with enterprise priorities
- CFOs evaluating material risk exposure
- Boards, auditors, and insurers requiring defensible assurance
Who This Is Not Designed For
- Organizations seeking a security tool or managed service
- Buyers looking for guaranteed outcomes
- Teams unwilling to confront uncomfortable findings
- Situations where independence is not valued
Governance, Reliance, and Intended Use
MCP Cyber Risk Assurance is governed by defined methodology, controlled language, and explicit limitations and assumptions.
It is designed to support executive decision-making, audit discussion, and insurance evaluation — not to replace management responsibility.
