VERITY RISK: Risk Assessment, TPRM & Resilience
Quantify, test, and transfer risk. FAIR analysis, NIST maturity, pen test advisory, red team, tabletop, M&A DD, BC/DR, third-party risk management, and cyber insurance advisory.
What is VERITY RISK?
VERITY Risk is Armorstack’s risk assessment, third-party risk management, and resilience practice: the engagements that quantify, test, stress-test, and strategically transfer your risk posture. Clients engage VERITY Risk to answer the questions the board actually asks: what is our loss exposure in dollars, how mature is our program against peers, where do our controls fail under adversarial testing, what is our vendor concentration risk, and can we recover and recoup when something breaks. The practice delivers FAIR risk quantification with Monte Carlo analysis, NIST CSF 2.0 maturity assessments, penetration testing advisory, red-team exercises, executive tabletops, M&A technology and security due diligence, business continuity and disaster recovery program design, third-party risk management (TPRM), and cyber insurance advisory. Engagements are fixed-fee or subscription and produce executive-consumable reports plus prioritized remediation backlogs.

Each service is scoped under a written engagement agreement. Click any card for the full service page.
FAIR Risk Quantification
Monte Carlo analysis of your top loss scenarios using Factor Analysis of Information Risk. Translates qualitative risk into dollar-exposure ranges the CFO and board can act on. Updates quarterly with threat-landscape and control-posture shifts.
Third-Party Risk Management
Vendor risk scoring methodology, SIG/CAIQ-based assessments, continuous monitoring, vendor tiering, SaaS concentration risk analysis, fourth-party visibility, and board-level TPRM reporting aligned to NIST SP 800-161 and ISO 27036.
Cyber Insurance Advisory
Pre-renewal control posture assessment, underwriter-aligned evidence package, application support, control-gap remediation planning, and post-incident claim facilitation. Works with Chubb, Beazley, Travelers, AIG, AXA XL. Paired with FAIR to optimize premium versus coverage limits.
NIST CSF 2.0 Maturity Assessment
Full NIST CSF 2.0 maturity scoring across Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover functions. Includes peer benchmarking, remediation roadmap tied to budget, and quarterly progress tracking.
Penetration Testing Advisory
Scope definition, vendor selection, RFP management, results interpretation, and remediation prioritization for external, internal, web application, API, cloud, and Active Directory penetration tests.
Red Team Exercises
Multi-week adversary simulation against defined objectives (domain compromise, sensitive data exfiltration, ransomware scenario). Includes initial access, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and exfiltration phases.
Executive Tabletop Exercises
Facilitated scenario-driven walkthrough for executive teams and boards. Scenarios include ransomware, business email compromise, insider threat, third-party breach, and regulatory incident.
M&A Technology & Security Due Diligence
Pre-close technology, security, and compliance diligence for acquirers: infrastructure assessment, security posture rating, compliance obligation mapping, integration risk analysis, post-close remediation plan.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Business Impact Analysis, RTO/RPO definition, recovery strategy design, runbook authorship, DR testing plan, and annual exercise facilitation. Operational DR execution delivered by Armorstack CORE.
Audience
Who This Is For
asking how much cyber risk translates to dollars and where it concentrates
needing defensible risk quantification and vendor risk programs
requiring pre-close technology and security diligence on target companies
seeking better premium and coverage terms backed by control posture
Differentiators
Why Armorstack RISK
FAIR analysis translates risk into dollars. Boards stop arguing about color swatches.
Quantify (FAIR) → Test (pen test, red team, tabletop) → Assess third parties (TPRM) → Recover (BC/DR) → Transfer (cyber insurance). One practice, one narrative.
M&A diligence on deal-team timelines with language fit for LOIs, SPAs, and reps-and-warranties insurance.
Control posture authored in the language carriers use. Measurable premium leverage at renewal.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is FAIR and why does it matter?
Factor Analysis of Information Risk is an open standard for quantifying cyber and operational risk in dollars rather than High/Medium/Low labels. Boards, CFOs, and cyber insurance underwriters can act on a $4.2M-$11.8M loss-exposure range in ways they cannot act on ‘Red.’ VERITY Risk builds FAIR analyses using Monte Carlo simulation calibrated to your threat landscape and controls.
Why does TPRM live under Risk instead of Govern?
Third-party risk management is fundamentally vendor-risk assessment and continuous monitoring, not compliance evidence collection. Placing TPRM under VERITY Risk aligns methodology with FAIR quantification, M&A diligence, and concentration-risk analysis.
How does cyber insurance advisory work with FAIR?
FAIR quantifies your loss exposure in dollars; cyber insurance advisory uses those numbers to right-size coverage limits, optimize premium versus retention, and negotiate terms with underwriters. Clients typically see 10-25% premium improvement or coverage expansion at renewal after a first FAIR-backed engagement.
Is penetration testing included or an advisory service?
VERITY Risk provides advisory: scoping, vendor management, results interpretation, and remediation prioritization. Actual test execution is delivered by Armorstack SENTRY (internal) or a vetted partner (external). This separation protects test objectivity.
How does an engagement begin?
Every VERITY Risk engagement begins with a scoping call followed by a written engagement proposal covering scope, deliverables, timeline, pricing, and SLAs.
