https://www.guidepointsecurity.com/?utm_source=... target="_blank" rel="noopener">GuidePoint Security, a leading cybersecurity solutions provider, announced the launch of its Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) service on July 21, 2025, in Reston, Virginia. Designed to help organizations make informed security investments, the CRQ service uses financial impact modeling based on the FAIR™ (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) framework to translate cyber risks into monetary terms, moving away from outdated qualitative methods like heat maps.
Launched July 21, 2025, GuidePoint’s CRQ service quantifies cyber risk in financial terms.
Built on FAIR™ framework, enhanced by AI and automation for scalability.
Offers board-ready insights, risk prioritization, and budget optimization.
Includes third-party risk integration and audit-ready documentation.
Aligns with 2025 trends showing 45% of organizations adopting FAIR.
Supports industries, sectors, and sizes with seamless framework integration.
The CRQ service addresses the challenge of communicating cyber risks to executives. “Security leaders often struggle to convey risk in a way that resonates with boards and executives,” said Ben Moreland, Director of Cyber Risk Practice at GuidePoint Security. “By quantifying cyber risk in financial terms, CRQ gives security and business leaders a shared, data-driven view of risk—so they can prioritize smarter, justify spending, and reduce exposure with confidence.” By replacing subjective scoring with financial metrics, the service enables proactive risk management over reactive defense.
GuidePoint’s CRQ offering includes:
Financial Risk Modeling: Identifies high-impact threats for smarter budget allocation.
Board-Ready Insights: Provides standardized outputs for executive decision-making.
Risk-Based Prioritization: Focuses mitigation on financially significant threats.
Budget Optimization: Aligns cybersecurity investments with organizational goals.

The service leverages AI and automation to simplify complex risk modeling, delivering faster, accurate, and repeatable assessments scalable across diverse environments.
The launch aligns with findings from the 2025 State of Cyber Risk Management Report by the FAIR Institute, sponsored by GuidePoint Security, which notes that 45% of organizations use or plan to adopt FAIR, with 90% of adopters reporting success. Additionally, 72% of organizations have automated most CRM processes, and 48% use AI to enhance maturity. The CRQ service responds to growing demand for data-driven risk management, as 95% of surveyed leaders report increasing internal demand for CRM.
Designed for organizations of all sizes and industries, CRQ integrates with existing risk frameworks, supporting both new and mature programs. “With CRQ, we’re helping organizations measure and manage risk,” Moreland added. “It’s about giving teams the clarity and confidence to act decisively—before an incident happens.” The service also aids compliance and cyber insurance negotiations by providing quantifiable metrics, addressing regulatory and insurer demands for mature risk programs.
