From scoping call to financial outputs.

We start by understanding your organisation: your sector, size, regulatory environment, and the specific decisions you need to inform. This determines whether Üsta is the right fit and what the engagement would look like, including scope, timeline, and what outputs you receive.

A targeted questionnaire maps your control environment across the threat scenarios most relevant to your business. Where you already hold security artefacts (penetration test reports, ISO or SOC 2 evidence, prior questionnaire responses) we work from those directly, rather than asking your team to restate what is already documented. We focus on the controls and architecture decisions that most materially affect your financial exposure, rather than exhaustive compliance checklists.

We do not require a mature security tooling stack or hundreds of integrations. Alongside your inputs, Üsta assembles an external view of your organisation, the kind an attacker would build, which requires nothing from your team. The assessment produces rigorous outputs from the information your organisation already holds, and states the confidence behind each one.

Your posture is parameterised against Üsta's actuarial model for your sector and revenue scale. Frequency and severity are anchored to published benchmarks where they exist and to documented judgement where they do not, and the range widens wherever the evidence is thinner.

This is where Üsta differs from framework assessments and qualitative scoring tools. The output is a probability distribution of financial loss, not a maturity score or a traffic light.
