End-to-End Cybersecurity Risk Management Services We Offer
Enterprise Cyber Risk Assessment
Enterprise cyber risk assessments using ISO 27005, NIST RMF, or OCTAVE to identify assets, threats, and vulnerabilities, producing risk registers that prioritise treatment and guide security investment decisions.
FAIR Quantitative Risk Analysis
FAIR quantitative risk modelling translates cyber scenarios into financial loss exposure ranges, enabling boards and executives to prioritise security investments using evidence-based risk analysis rather than qualitative ratings.
Threat Modelling & Attack Surface Analysis
Threat modelling using STRIDE, PASTA, and MITRE ATT&CK to map attack paths, data flows, and entry points, identifying exploitable surfaces and providing architecture-specific, actionable threat intelligence.
Cyber Risk Appetite Framework
Risk appetite frameworks defining KRIs, thresholds, and governance structures that align cyber risk exposure across business units, enabling boards to make explicit, measurable risk acceptance decisions.
Risk Treatment Programme Design & Delivery
Risk treatment programmes structuring control selection, cost-benefit analysis, and remediation tracking, prioritising actions by risk reduction per investment unit to ensure measurable exposure reduction over compliance completeness.
Vulnerability Risk Management
Risk-based vulnerability management using CVSS/EPSS prioritisation, exploit intelligence, patch SLAs, exceptions, and trending to reduce actively exploitable vulnerabilities rather than volume-driven scan-and-patch cycles.
Third-Party & Supply Chain Risk Management
Third-party risk management with vendor tiering, assessments, questionnaires, contract controls, monitoring, and supply chain reporting to govern external attack surface and mitigate supply chain compromise risks.
OT, ICS & Critical Infrastructure Risk Assessment
OT/ICS risk assessments aligned to IEC 62443 covering SCADA/DCS assets, IT/OT convergence, network segmentation, and threat modelling for critical infrastructure where cyber risk impacts safety and operations.

Cybersecurity Risk Management FAQs
Have a question? We’re here to help.
What cybersecurity risk management services does Kernshell provide?
Kernshell delivers end-to-end risk management including enterprise risk assessments (ISO 27005, NIST RMF), FAIR quantitative risk analysis, threat modelling (STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK), risk appetite and treatment design, vulnerability and third-party risk management, OT/ICS risk assessments, cyber insurance quantification, GRC implementation, and board-level cyber risk reporting.
What is FAIR and why is quantitative risk analysis more valuable than qualitative risk heat maps?
FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) quantifies cyber risk in financial terms instead of heat maps. It helps boards and CFOs make investment decisions based on expected financial loss (e.g., £ impact), enabling better prioritisation and ROI-driven security spending.
How does threat modelling differ from penetration testing and when does an enterprise need both?
Threat modelling is a design-time process that identifies risks before systems are built. Penetration testing is a validation-time process that finds real vulnerabilities in implemented systems. Both are required for complete security coverage.
How does Kernshell approach OT and ICS risk assessment differently from standard IT risk assessment?
OT/ICS risk includes physical safety, operational disruption, and environmental impact, not just data risk. It uses IEC 62443 and requires non-intrusive assessment methods due to industrial system sensitivity.
How do you integrate cyber risk management with enterprise risk management (ERM) frameworks?
Cyber risk is mapped into enterprise risk frameworks so it can be governed alongside financial and operational risks. This enables board-level oversight using consistent risk language and reporting.
How does Kernshell manage third-party cyber risk at the scale of a complex enterprise vendor ecosystem?
Vendor risk is tiered (high/medium/low) based on criticality. High-risk vendors get deep assessment and monitoring; others use lighter controls and automation tools. Fourth-party risk is also tracked through supply chain mapping.
How does Kernshell help organisations use cyber risk quantification to optimise their cyber insurance programme?
FAIR-based quantification provides real financial exposure data, helping organisations choose appropriate insurance coverage limits and improve underwriting outcomes based on actual risk rather than estimates.
