The risk you cannot see
The estate grew faster than the map: suppliers, SaaS bought outside IT, open APIs, forgotten test environments. You protect what you inventoried, and the inventory is old.

Manage cyber risk
Risk analysis, compliance, penetration testing and governance — powered by Elyys360, the GRC platform we build.
THE STATE OF RISK
Compliance became mandatory for everyone.
The ability to prove it did not.
What changed is not how demanding the regulations are. It is that proof became continuous, while most arrangements stayed annual. What follows describes what we find on engagements.
Three failures
Compliance that costs more than it protects
Hours spent filling in questionnaires that change no decision, while fixes wait. The budget goes into demonstration, not into reducing risk.
The proof you cannot produce
The organisation does things properly and cannot show it. At the moment of an audit, a tender or an incident, missing proof counts as a missing control.
Different maturities, different sectors, the same three failures.
How everyone coped
Four workarounds, found everywhere. None of them reduces risk: they document that it exists.
The risk spreadsheet
Current the month of the audit, frozen for the other eleven.
The supplier questionnaire
Self-declared, annual, never cross-checked. You measure the quality of the answers, not of the supplier.
The audit you file away
Two hundred pages, no dated action, no named owner. The report exists; so does the risk.
Waiting for the audit
The subject becomes a priority the day it becomes public.
Why the classic route stayed out of reach
Cost
A complete arrangement is priced like a programme, while the risk does not pause during the budget debate.
Timeline
Between the decision and the first usable proof, more than a year often passes. The exposure runs for the whole of it.
Arbitration
Nobody is positioned to say which finding to treat first, for lack of a rating that engineering and leadership read the same way.
The choice came down to funding a programme or hoping. For years, hoping usually won.
WHAT CHANGED
You no longer produce a report. You steer a plan.
A finding is only worth something dated, assigned and tracked. The smallest useful unit is not the audit: it is the corrective action, with an owner, a deadline and a re-test. Anything short of that granularity ends up filed.
On the exposure side
Genuinely exploitable attack paths, configuration defects, external exposure, critical third parties. What an attack actually goes through.
On the governance side
Risk rating, acceptance decisions, evidence of execution. What an auditor, an insurer or a client will ask you to show.
THE EVIDENCE
What separates a steered plan from an archived report
A critical vulnerability is reported the day it is found, not the day the report is ready.
Every finding is reproducible
Technical evidence your teams can replay. A finding you cannot reproduce does not get fixed: it gets debated.
Every finding carries a name and a date
An owner, a deadline, an effort estimate. Without that, prioritisation falls to whoever read the report last.
The rating reads at two levels
The same matrix serves the technical session and the leadership summary. Two readings, one rating, the same day.
Fixes are verified
At the end of the plan, the tests are replayed. A remediation declared is not a remediation observed.
What it unlocks
The gain does not always take the form of a closed risk. It comes in four shapes, and they are not equivalent.
Exposure made visible
The real estate replaces the assumed one, including the assets nobody claimed any more.
A questionnaire you stop enduring
Evidence is produced once and reused, instead of being rewritten for every requester.
Arbitration that becomes possible again
A shared rating finally lets you say what you treat, what you accept, and why.
A dependency that falls away
The plan is steered in your own tools. Nothing forces you back through us to know where you stand.

Turn regulations and standards into a roadmap that serves the business.
- EBIOS RM
- ISO 27001

- Managed SOC
- CSIRT
- Threat intelligence
How an engagement runs
Scoping
1 weekScope, objectives, operational constraints and points of contact. Nothing starts before a scoping note is approved by your teams.
Execution
2 to 6 weeksAudit, penetration testing or compliance interviews depending on the engagement. Any critical vulnerability is reported to you immediately, without waiting for the report.
Debrief
1 sessionTwo levels of reading: a technical session with your teams, a summary for leadership. Both on the same day.
Action plan
includedEvery finding becomes a dated action with an owner and an effort estimate. A report without an action plan never gets implemented.
What you receive
- Detailed report with reproducible technical evidence
- Risk matrix rated by impact and likelihood, EBIOS RM method
- Remediation plan prioritised by risk and effort
- Two-page summary for the executive committee
- Live debrief and Q&A session with your teams
- Verification of the fixes once the plan is complete
Frequently asked questions
How long does an engagement take?
It depends on scope: two to three weeks for one application, several months for a full information system. Scoping settles that question before you commit, not after.
Does production have to stop?
No for a compliance audit or risk analysis. For a penetration test, we agree a window and written rules of engagement setting out what is allowed and what is not.
Who actually does the work?
Experienced consultants, named in the quotation. We do not put a junior alone on an engagement, and the person who answered you is the one who shows up.
What happens after the debrief?
The action plan gets steered. You can do that in your own tools, or in Elyys360, the platform we publish, where each finding becomes a tracked action.
Do I have to subscribe to Elyys360?
No. Our consulting engagements are independent of the platform and run identically without it. Elyys360 steers what comes next; it does not perform the audit.
CYBERSECURITY · OUR PLATFORM
Elyys360, the ERP of cybersecurity
We do not resell someone else's platform: we write it. Here is what it does, screen by screen.
Risk mapping
Rate impact and likelihood, add mitigations, and residual risk recalculates as the actions land. The Current / Initial switch shows the ground covered.
- EBIOS RM and scenarios
- Impact / likelihood matrix
- Residual risk recalculated
One view, not six tools
From compliance audits to risk scenarios, from vulnerability management to incident response: the whole posture is steered from a single platform.
- Compliance, risk, vulnerabilities
- Incidents and third parties
- Board-level indicators
Composable scopes
Build named filtered views that apply across every module. Group entities, compose scopes, switch context from the global selector.
- Reusable named views
- Applied across all modules
- Instant context switching
A single action plan
Every module feeds the same action plan. Drag to reschedule, assign RACI roles, track progress without stitching three spreadsheets together.
- RACI roles
- Owners and deadlines
- Fed by every module
Recommendations you can argue with
For each risk scenario the platform proposes mitigations with their estimated impact — enough to decide, not enough to replace the analyst.
- Mitigations per scenario
- Estimated impact
- The call stays human
One Gantt across the board
Compliance, risk, vulnerabilities, TPRM: every action on one timeline. Drag to reschedule, resize to move a deadline.
- Every action, one timeline
- Reschedule in place
- Filter by module
