ekera For the CISO: link technical risks to the business
Link your technical risks to their consequences for the business. Ekera structures the dependencies between your business processes, applications and infrastructure. It documents risk scenarios, estimates their financial consequences from explicit assumptions and compares risk-reduction measures. Findings point back to their source; missing items and the limits of the analysis are identified to ease validation by your teams.

What you are looking for
You know the vulnerabilities, the tools and the control obligations. What is often missing is a consolidated view of dependencies and a way to show management why some measures come first.
- Link technical risks to business processes.
- Identify critical dependencies.
- Document attack and outage scenarios.
- Prepare a risk-reduction roadmap.
- Produce evidence for internal controls, customers and insurers.
What may make you hesitate
| Your question | What Ekera shows |
|---|---|
| “A risk in euros looks precise when it rests on uncertain assumptions” | Amounts are given as ranges, from low assumptions (frequencies, days of downtime, response costs) to high ones. Each figure comes with its definition, its assumptions and its limits. |
| “Does it separate facts, assumptions and recommendations?” | A fact cites the object and the document it comes from, with its date. An estimate comes from the calculation engine, with its assumptions displayed, and not from the language model. Your teams approve the measures to implement. When the map cannot answer, Ekera says so and states what is missing. |
| “How do you avoid presenting a measure as effective without having verified it?” | The “after the work” results assume the measures are carried out and produce the modelled effects: they are conditional estimates. The NIS2 score counts the ten Article 21 measures (1 point per measure met, ½ if partial); it is not a compliance certificate. |
| “And the security of the tool itself?” | 30% of our revenue goes to Ekera’s research, quality and security. The credentials of your tools stay in your vault: Ekera keeps a reference, not the value. Shared security. |
What Ekera brings you
Ekera automates part of the analysis and documentation without replacing the people in charge: your teams approve, and decisions stay in your hands.
Useful modules
- Risk analysis : what to fix, in order, with the evidence and the NIS2 measure.
- IT mapping : from process to server, with the sources.
- Costing in euros : the cost of a scenario, the expected annual loss, the effect of measures.
- Action plan : costed variants for three budgets.
- NIS2 : gaps by measure, control file, pre-filled questionnaires.
- Continuous monitoring : published vulnerabilities, end of support, changes in sources.
- Ekera Assurance : share documented indicators with your insurer, with your consent.
A worked example
Fictitious example: Ateliers Morvan
An assessment that points back to its sources
The indicators of the Ateliers Morvan assessment.
| Indicator | Baseline | After the work (simulation) |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum outage after an attack | 81% | 34% |
| Worst case | €2.4M to €4.9M | €0.9M to €1.8M |
| Weak entry points | 5 | 1 |
| Backups out of reach | no | yes |
| NIS2 measures assessed as met | 4.5 of 10 | 8 of 10 |
Single point of failure: the shipping workstation in Nevers. Dependency: maintenance contract, p. 4; no backup: backup report of 3 October.
Fictitious example: Ateliers Morvan is a fictitious company, and its figures illustrate how the engine works. The indicators depend on the data available, the assumptions made and the scope analysed. The “after the work” results assume the measures are carried out and produce the modelled effects: they are conditional estimates, not a promise of risk reduction.
