Financial Risk Quantification Engine

Know what could cost you.
Know what to fix first.

FRQE translates cybersecurity, compliance and cryptographic evidence into modelled financial exposure. It is designed for prioritisation — not to pretend uncertain future loss is an exact number.

How FRQE works

Evidence in. Assumptions visible. Financial range out.

01

Evidence

Regulatory status, cryptographic assets, data sensitivity and retention, control maturity, vendor dependencies, public findings and client-provided evidence.

02

Model

FRQE combines documented risk factors, relevant penalty ceilings, breach/operational impact assumptions and exposure modifiers. Proprietary calculation logic is protected, while the assumptions used in a client result are disclosed.

03

Decision output

Modelled exposure range, confidence level, key drivers, source references and a remediation priority order based on financial impact.

Worked example

Illustrative mid-sized regulated entity.

Synthetic numbers for demonstration only. They are not a penalty forecast or customer result.

Modelled exposure range₹38–51 CrIllustrative · confidence: medium
Regulatory / compliance exposure₹6–9 Cr
Cyber incident & response exposure₹18–24 Cr
Cryptographic concentration exposure₹8–11 Cr
Long-life-data / quantum exposure₹6–7 Cr

What drives the range?

  • Entity/regulatory classification
  • Data type, volume and retention
  • Cryptographic inventory quality
  • Control maturity and recovery capability
  • Vendor / third-party dependencies
  • Source quality and confidence
What FRQE is

A prioritisation model.

FRQE is designed to help security, risk and finance leaders compare material exposures using a common financial language. Each report should show the assessment date, methodology version, material assumptions, evidence sources, confidence and limitations.

What FRQE is not

Not an exact prediction.

FRQE does not guarantee that a regulator will impose a particular penalty, that an incident will occur, or that a loss will equal the modelled number. It is not legal advice, an actuarial opinion, statutory audit or certification.

Methodology governance

Built to be challenged.

Versioned

Reports identify the FRQE methodology version and assessment date so changes to laws, benchmarks or assumptions are traceable.

Source-labelled

Inputs distinguish primary regulation, official guidance, customer evidence, public evidence and model assumptions.

Confidence-aware

Where evidence is incomplete, the report should widen the range or reduce confidence rather than present false precision.
