The evolving cyber landscape

Cyber risk has been increasing in recent years as entities embrace digitalization — further catalyzed by COVID-19 and the abrupt transition to digital life. Nearly every exchange of information comes with some level of cyber risk. 

Breaches can lead to devastating financial consequences for an organization and its stakeholders. With the potential to significantly impact revenue, regulatory compliance, customer relationships, and employee privacy, cybersecurity practices are no longer an IT initiative — they are a business priority.

Solutions for Your Business

As cyber becomes more critical, it’s imperative that entities have an in-depth understanding of their risk profile in order to determine the proper allocation of resources. Based on the partnership of two market leaders in analyzing and assessing risk — S&P Global Ratings and Guidewire — the S&P Global Ratings Cyber Risk Assessment, based on Guidewire data, provides comprehensive, quantitative insights into an entity’s cyber risk profile to help entities understand their Cyber posture.  This can also be performed for a target entity, in the case of M&A, using the S&P Global Ratings Cyber M&A Assessment
