QinetiQ’s Cyber Security Risk Assessment Service enables organisations to understand and manage cyber risk in business terms. Our approach combines rigorous analysis with accessible outputs, giving executives and technical teams a common evidence base to prioritise investment and remediation.

We apply our System Risk Assessment Framework (SRAF) to decompose complex “systems of systems” pragmatically, generating concise dashboards and “what-if” scenarios to support decision-making. This is complemented by our Cyber ADVANTAGE (CyAD™) modelling, which captures domains, information flows, threats, trust levels and physical boundaries to provide a holistic view of risk.

Engagement begins with a consultant-led workshop to scope systems, gather knowledge and build a shared model of the environment. Risks are enumerated top-down and bottom-up, compromise paths evaluated, and mitigating controls identified. Iterative refinement ensures findings are grounded in operational reality.

The final report provides a clear risk and impact dashboard, gap analysis, and prioritised recommendations. It supports risk management across requirements, design and implementation phases, giving organisations confidence that vulnerabilities are identified, understood and addressed.
