Asset Valuation Algorithms.
RiskRecon invented the ground-breaking asset risk valuation algorithms that are critical to how enterprises manage third-party cyber risk. RiskRecon is the only firm in the world that can automatically determine the inherent risk value of systems by identifying indicators of risk value through analysis of system code, content, configurations, and characteristics. The company’s asset valuation algorithms automatically assign a value to cyber assets such as systems, domains, and networks. The algorithms also tag each asset with value indicators, including the system’s functionality and the data types it collects; these indicators enable risk professionals to immediately understand any asset’s value. This essential capability enables customers to easily understand how well their vendors are managing cyber risk and to know how to act on that risk.

Risk-Prioritized Action Plans:
Only RiskRecon can automatically determine the risk priority of issues, providing customers with action plans prioritized by risk. That’s because solving risk requires two foundational elements: the severity of the security issue and the value of the asset in which the issue exists. Because RiskRecon invented the algorithms to automatically determine asset value, RiskRecon provides customers with the world’s easiest path to understanding and acting on their third-party risk.

Custom Risk Policy Configuration:
RiskRecon’s automated risk appetite configuration capability enables enterprises to automatically produce assessments and action plans based on their unique risk requirements. Customers can set their own risk policy for each security criteria through a graphical user interface by selecting the combinations of asset value and issue severity to identify issues important to their organization. In addition to automatically creating custom-fitted risk assessments and action plans, organizations can similarly tune RiskRecon’s continuous monitoring to surface only the material risk issues that violate their risk policy.
