Partnering with the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, we devised a novel Cyber Risk method combining FAIR, MITRE, OCTAVE, CMMC, NIST CSF, and NIST SP 800-53 frameworks. 

The main objective is to provide CISOs with a concise and express control impact prioritization strategy for Cyber Risks. CISOs will optimize their security strategy based on their custom main constraints (e.g. budget, risks, compliance requirements, threat environment). CISOs will also be able to quickly justify their budget and investments to executives.
