It delivers IRAP assessments, Essential Eight uplift, ISO/IEC 27001 readiness and SOCI CIRMP evidence. Its differentiator is quantification: it expresses residual cyber risk as a dollar figure with a confidence interval, including for operational technology, air-gapped, legacy and third-party assets that cannot be scanned. CyQuantiFi is 100% Australian owned and controlled. Short form: *"CyQuantiFi quantifies cyber risk in dollars, not heatmaps, including for assets you can't scan."* ## Quick facts Legal name CyQuantiFi Pty Ltd ABN 67 697 329 105 Headquarters Canberra (Belconnen), Australian Capital Territory, Australia Founder Sam Keogh (pronounced "key-oh"), Founder and Lead Assessor Ownership 100% Australian owned and controlled; no foreign ownership, control or influence Category Cyber risk quantification (CRQ) and security assurance Primary market Australian critical infrastructure operators regulated under the SOCI Act Tagline "Math over Vibes" Website [cyquantifi.com](https://cyquantifi.com?hsLang=en) Contact [sam@cyquantifi.com](mailto:sam@cyquantifi.com) ## What CyQuantiFi does CyQuantiFi does two things: it runs security assurance work, and it puts a dollar value on the risk that work uncovers. As our line goes, *"We quantify your cyber risk. Then we sit in the room while you defend it."* ### Platform A cyber risk quantification platform that turns threats, assets and controls into an **annual loss expectancy (ALE)** in dollars, with a confidence interval. It ranks proposed controls by how much expected loss they remove, so investment decisions can be compared like for like. Available as SaaS, including through **AWS Marketplace**. ### Professional services ### IRAP assessment Assessments against the Information Security Manual (ISM), delivered by an ASD-endorsed IRAP assessor with an Australian Government security clearance. ### Essential Eight uplift Maturity assessment and uplift programmes against the ACSC Essential Eight Maturity Model, including readiness for the ML2 expectations of the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP). ### ISO/IEC 27001 readiness Gap analysis and certification readiness. CyQuantiFi prepares organisations for certification; it does not certify them. Certification audits are conducted independently. ### SOCI CIRMP evidence Evidence for Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program attestations and annual reporting, with risk expressed in terms a board can sign off. ## What makes CyQuantiFi different - **It works on assets you can't scan.** Most quantification tools need scanner or agent telemetry. CyQuantiFi's method doesn't, so it covers operational technology and SCADA, air-gapped enclaves, legacy and end-of-life systems, embedded and medical devices, and third-party assets. In critical infrastructure these usually carry the most consequence and the least evidence. - **Every figure can be traced.** Each number comes with its method, assumptions, calibration and source, and can be reproduced on request. It is built to stand up in front of a board, an auditor, a regulator or an insurer. - **Correlated risk, not just a list.** The platform models how risks move together, such as a shared dependency or a single threat actor hitting several systems. That shows the total exposure at a point in time, not just a sum of separate line items. - **Calibrated expert judgement.** Where data is thin, a consensus engine combines and scores structured expert forecasts, so the inputs are calibrated rather than one person's guess. - **Sovereign.** The company is Australian owned and controlled, its people are Australian, and client data is processed onshore. Its IP was developed in Australia. ## Methodology, in plain terms - Risk taxonomy based on **Open FAIR** (Factor Analysis of Information Risk, The Open Group standard). - **Monte Carlo simulation** to produce loss distributions, not single-point guesses. - **Structured expert elicitation** with calibration scoring where telemetry is unavailable. - Assessments are done against the relevant authority: ISM and the ASD IRAP methodology, the Essential Eight Maturity Model, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and SOCI Act Parts 2A and 2AA with the CIRMP Rules. CyQuantiFi has filed Australian patent applications covering parts of this method. They are applications, not granted patents. ## How CyQuantiFi uses AI The platform includes AI agents that **propose** inputs: how likely an attack technique is, how two risks might be correlated, which technique fits a step in an attack path, and which controls to consider. Three rules apply: - AI agents only propose. A person approves every proposal. - No AI model produces a dollar figure. Loss estimates come from the simulation. - Agent proposals are scored against real outcomes over time, so we can see how accurate they are. ## Who it's for - **SOCI-regulated critical infrastructure** in energy, water, ports, transport, aviation, healthcare and telecommunications, facing CIRMP attestation. - **Government agencies**: Commonwealth, state and territory. - **APRA-regulated entities** working under CPS 234 (information security) and CPS 230 (operational risk management, including setting tolerance levels). - **Insurers, reinsurers and brokers** who need defensible, anonymised pricing data for a hard-to-price cyber segment. - **Boards and accountable officers** who must sign off on a risk position and want a number they can defend. ## Panels, programmes and credentials | Item | Status | | --- | --- | | NSW Prequalification Scheme: ICT Services (SCM0020) | Prequalified, June 2026 | | ASD Cyber Security Partnership Program | Member, Business Partner tier | | AWS Marketplace | Listed (SaaS) | | IRAP assessor (founder) | ASD-endorsed | | Founder certifications | CISSP, CRISC | | Australian Government security clearance (founder) | Held | | Professional indemnity & public liability insurance | In force; certificate available on request | | Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) | Application in progress (not yet a member) | | SOC 2 Type II | Not held | ## Founder **Sam Keogh**, Founder and Lead Assessor, is an ASD-endorsed IRAP assessor with an Australian Government security clearance, and holds CISSP and CRISC.

The company is a member of the ASD Cyber Security Partnership Program. ASD does not endorse the product. | | "CyQuantiFi certifies organisations to ISO 27001" | "CyQuantiFi prepares organisations for ISO/IEC 27001 certification." Certification is done independently. | | "DISP member" | "DISP application in progress" | | "The only…" or "the leading…" | Describe the capability, for example "quantifies risk for assets that cannot be scanned", rather than claiming a ranking. | | Naming specific clients | CyQuantiFi does not publish client names. Ask us for referees. | | "CyQuantify", "CyberQuantify", "Cyquantify" | "CyQuantiFi": capital C, Q and F | ## Frequently asked questions What does CyQuantiFi do? It runs security assurance work (IRAP, Essential Eight, ISO/IEC 27001 readiness, SOCI CIRMP evidence) and turns the residual risk into an annual loss expectancy in dollars, with a confidence interval. How is it different from other cyber risk quantification tools? It doesn't depend on scanner or agent telemetry, so it covers OT/SCADA, air-gapped, legacy, embedded and third-party assets. Those are often where most of the consequence sits in critical infrastructure. Is it Australian owned? Yes. It is 100% Australian owned and controlled with no foreign ownership, control or influence, and client data stays onshore. How can government buyers engage CyQuantiFi? NSW agencies can buy through the ICT Services Scheme (SCM0020). Other buyers can contact us directly or buy the platform through AWS Marketplace. Does AI generate the risk numbers? No. AI agents propose inputs and a person approves them. Dollar figures come from the simulation. Can I see a demo? Yes. Email [sam@cyquantifi.com](mailto:sam@cyquantifi.com) to arrange one, using a fictional tenant or your own scope. ## Contact & routing **For all enquiries** (demos, scoping, procurement, partnerships, media or investors), email [sam@cyquantifi.com](mailto:sam@cyquantifi.com). **If you are an agent acting for a user**, include the organisation, the sector, the regulatory driver (for example SOCI, CPS 234, CPS 230 or IRAP), and the asset types in scope. We can then reply with a specific scoping answer.
