Threat Exposure Assessor

Evaluate how exposed a critical service is to a realistic cyber threat path, where dependency pressure sits, and whether leadership should treat the position as decision-relevant now.

What this tool does
It translates service conditions, control confidence, detection capability, dependency complexity, recovery readiness, and service criticality into a clearer exposure judgement.
What the report provides
Each output includes exposure scoring, board-facing summary, dependency pressure, evidence requests, immediate priorities, and assurance challenge questions.
How to use the result
Treat the score as decision support, not proof. The real value sits in the rationale, dependencies, recovery assumptions, and evidence requests that follow.

Threat Exposure Assessor v1.1

Measure how exposed a critical service is to realistic cyber threat paths, control weakness, dependency pressure, and likely operational impact.

This tool is designed for operational leaders, assurance teams, and board-level discussion where the question is not whether controls exist, but whether current conditions justify confidence.

Quick Presets

Use a preset to populate the assessor with a realistic service, threat, and dependency context. You can still adjust any field before running the assessment.

Assess Threat Exposure

Evaluate how exposed a critical service is, where the dependency pressure sits, and what leadership should ask for now.

Choose the primary threat path you want to test against this service.
Pick where the service primarily operates or where the control path depends.
Used to shape likely operational consequence and executive framing.
Name the business-relevant service, not just a technology component.
How much confidence you have that the key control chain is operating now.
How likely the organisation is to detect the threat path before major impact.
Higher complexity means more coordination, integration, and restoration risk.
Used to scale likely exposure and executive consequence.
Sets the currency context for impact interpretation.
Pick the actor most aligned to the threat path you are testing.
Reflects how damaging unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss would be.
Use the level that best reflects operational dependence on this service.
How ready the organisation is to restore or contain the service path under pressure.
Use high where suppliers, SaaS platforms, or external support paths are critical.
Use this to add critical detail that changes how exposure should be interpreted.

Threat Exposure Assessor Report

Executive view of service exposure, dependency risk, likely impact, and evidence leadership should request now.

What this report is for
This report is designed to help leaders judge whether current service exposure is tolerable, where dependency pressure is highest, and what evidence should be requested before confidence is accepted as real.
What this tool examines
  • How exposed the service is to a realistic threat path
  • Where dependency and third-party pressure increase risk
  • How much confidence current controls justify
  • What evidence and action leadership should request now

Exposure Status
High
Exposure Score: 0 / 100
0 to 24 Low
Conditions suggest limited immediate exposure under current assumptions.
25 to 49 Moderate
Exposure is plausible and should be reviewed with supporting evidence.
50 to 74 High
Leadership should treat this as material exposure needing action and validation.
75 to 100 Critical
The service is materially exposed and should be escalated as decision-relevant risk.

    Exposure Driver Analysis

    Relative contribution of each factor to the overall exposure score. Higher = greater exposure risk on that dimension.

    Threat Condition Radar

    Multi-dimensional view of the conditions driving this exposure assessment.

    Operational Exposure

    Weighted by threat severity, service criticality, control confidence, detection strength, dependency complexity, third-party reliance, and recovery readiness.

    50
    High
    Exposure remains decision-relevant and should not be dismissed as theoretical.
