Acuity Core

Run your cybersecurity program continuously

Acuity Core replaces fragmented annual assessments and disconnected tools with a single cyber risk management system that shows your posture across controls, tools, threats, people, and spend — then turns prioritized recommendations into tracked work with evidence behind it.

Capabilities

What Acuity Core does

MITRE ATT&CK Integration

Map your controls to real adversary techniques and quantify coverage against them.

Strategic Budget Optimization

Model spend against outcomes and fund the gaps that drive measurable risk reduction.

Confident Resource Allocation

Give leaders a clear line of sight from every dollar to the risk it retires.

Gap & Redundancy Detection

Surface deficiencies and overlapping coverage across people, process, and technology.

Framework Alignment

Track alignment against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF 2.0), CIS Controls v8.1, and NIST 800-171 (CMMC 2.0) — the frameworks your board recognises.

Executive Reporting

One dashboard for executives, cyber leaders, and operational teams alike.

The Acuity Score

One cybersecurity risk score for the whole program, built from threat modeling, coverage, initiative progress, and cost efficiency.

Threat Modeling

Classify your threat model into one of 27 named adversary archetypes, and replay 25 MITRE adversary emulation scenarios against your posture.

Return on Security Investment

Model expected loss from your loss events and show how much your coverage avoids — the cybersecurity investment case the board asks for.

The Closed Loop

How Acuity Core works

Six stages that feed each other. Work completed in one cycle updates the scores that shape the next, so the program compounds instead of resetting every year.

1. Assess

Establish current maturity and Acuity scores across your chosen framework.

2. Build posture

Unify controls, tool coverage, threats, people, and budget into one view.

3. Recommend

Generate prioritized, costed recommendations tied to the threats that matter.

4. Plan and govern

Shape recommendations into initiatives and tasks inside configurable cycles.

5. Execute

Deliver the work while capturing evidence as it is completed, not after.

6. Measure

Scores update automatically as work lands, feeding the next cycle.

The Full Picture

Every phase, and what moves between them

What each stage ingests, what it produces, and how measured outcomes re-rate the assessment to move the Acuity Score — then start the cycle again.

The Acuity program cycle: assess and ingest control maturity, tools, costs and threats; fuse them into a single posture that fuels the Acuity Score; generate costed recommendations; plan and govern the work as objectives, initiatives and cycles; execute and prove it with tasks and evidence; then measure coverage, maturity and spend against target, feeding results back into the assessment
Traceability from sector to control: financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, energy and public sector threats link to the actors targeting them — FIN7, APT29, Scattered Spider, Lazarus, LockBit — whose techniques are traced across an ATT&CK-style matrix through to the controls covering them, with identity, endpoint and network security covered and detection and data protection flagged as gaps; beneath, a continuous revision loop reassesses controls as new threats emerge

Threat-informed by design

Core starts from the adversaries that actually target your sector, then traces them through to the controls you own. That traceability is what turns a control gap into a defensible funding argument.

  • Threat profiles tuned to your sector
  • Actor-to-technique-to-control traceability
  • Continuous revision as the landscape shifts
Scattered spreadsheets, tickets and documents on the left giving way to a single closed loop — assess, prioritize, execute, evidence, measure, improve — ringed by what it produces: clear ownership, visible progress, risk reduction, and maturity improvement

Measurable improvement, cycle over cycle

Because evidence is captured as work is completed, maturity and coverage move on their own. You get continuous visibility instead of annual snapshots, clear ownership, and a budget case built on results rather than activity.

  • Initiative notes and progress tracking
  • Budget analysis comparisons across cycles
  • Next budget cycle recommendations
