For CFOs & Boards
Boards are legally accountable for cyber risk. Regulators, auditors, and shareholders are asking questions that heat maps cannot answer. Üsta produces the financial numbers you need to govern responsibly.

Cyber is the only material business risk that cannot be expressed in financial terms. Credit risk has models. Market risk has models. Operational risk has models. Cyber has heat maps and maturity scores, designed for IT teams rather than for financial governance.
Yet boards are now held to the same standard of cyber risk oversight as they are for financial and operational risk. Without quantified exposure, every governance decision on cyber is made without the analytical foundation that every other risk decision relies on.
What is our actual financial exposure to a data breach?
Are we carrying more risk than our appetite allows?
Is our insurance coverage appropriate for our exposure?
How do we demonstrate cyber governance to regulators?
What You Get
Your organisation's expected cyber loss in rand terms, at multiple probability thresholds — the number that anchors your risk appetite discussion.
The plausible worst-case financial impact at your chosen confidence level. The number your risk committee needs to set meaningful limits.
An actuarially derived view of what cyber insurance coverage your exposure justifies — so coverage decisions are grounded in your actual risk profile.
Documentation of your cyber risk position in financial terms, structured for regulatory reporting and board-level accountability.
Use Cases
Move from a qualitative risk appetite statement to a quantified financial threshold. Know the number your organisation is prepared to bear, and model what it costs to reduce it.
Stop buying insurance against a risk you have never quantified. Understand your modelled loss distribution before entering underwriting negotiations, so coverage decisions reflect your actual exposure.
Regulators and auditors are increasingly requiring financial-level risk disclosure. Üsta produces outputs that satisfy scrutiny from the FSCA, SARB, and external auditors.
Quantify the cyber risk exposure of a target or portfolio company before a transaction closes. Replace qualitative assessments with actuarial loss estimates that can be priced into the deal.
We will assess fit and explain what quantified cyber risk governance would look like for your organisation.
