Threat & Risk Assessments

Think like the adversary.
Defend like an operator.

Most assessments find vulnerabilities. CINDR assessments reveal the attack paths — how weaknesses, misconfigurations, and trust relationships chain together into something an adversary can actually use against you.

Vulnerability Scans
  • Lists CVEs
  • CVSS scores
  • No business context
  • No attack paths
Compliance Audits
  • Checks boxes
  • Point-in-time snapshot
  • Framework-driven
  • No adversary model
CINDR Assessments
  • Maps real attack paths
  • Assumes adversary presence
  • IT & OT coverage
  • Tied to mission impact

Our Methodology

Where other assessments end,
ours begins.

A CVE list tells you what's broken. It doesn't tell you which three of those CVEs chain into a path straight to your operations center. That's the gap CINDR closes — by modeling how a specific adversary would move through your specific environment.

Our operators have run this methodology in classified and commercial networks, adapting the same assessment discipline used by U.S. military cyber protection teams.

01
Environment Profiling
We map your architecture, trust boundaries, data flows, and detection coverage before any testing begins — understanding your environment as the adversary would.
02
Attack Path Modeling
We chain vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, credential exposure, and detection gaps into the paths an adversary would actually exploit — not a generic kill chain template.
03
Impact Translation
Each path is traced to its operational endpoint: what system, process, or outcome does it threaten? That becomes the risk framing leadership actually needs.
04
Prioritized Remediation
Fixes are ordered by the real-world risk they remove — not severity scores. You get a clear sequence, not a 200-item backlog.

Assessment Services

Three types of assessment.
One standard of rigor.

01FSRA — Flagship

Full-Spectrum Risk Assessment

A deeply technical assessment modeled after U.S. military cyber protection team operations. Assumes adversary presence and maps realistic attack paths across IT and OT environments — tied directly to operational and business impact.

02Technical

Vulnerability Assessment

Systematic identification and validation of security weaknesses across systems, networks, and applications — with remediation prioritized by real exploitability, not CVSS score alone.

03Strategic

Architecture Review

Adversary-informed evaluation of your security architecture, trust boundaries, and technology stack to expose design-level weaknesses before attackers find them.

FSRA — Flagship Assessment

Full-Spectrum
Risk Assessment

CINDR's flagship assessment — the only engagement that covers IT and OT in a single operation, models real adversary behavior, and delivers findings tied directly to mission impact.

Scope & Depth.

FSRA covers both IT and OT environments in a single engagement — one of the only assessments built to evaluate industrial control systems alongside traditional infrastructure. We move across boundaries most assessments treat as separate workstreams.

The Output.

You receive a complete attack path model: specific sequences an adversary could realistically execute, the evidence supporting each path, the operational impact at the end of it, and a prioritized remediation roadmap. Not a list — a playbook.

What to Expect.

FSRA is a collaborative engagement. We work alongside your security and operations teams, not around them. The final brief is structured for both technical leads and executive leadership — so findings drive decisions at every level of the organization.

Adversary-Modeled
Maps the attack paths a real adversary would use against your specific environment — not generic risk categories.
IT + OT Coverage
One of the few assessments that evaluates industrial control systems alongside traditional IT infrastructure.
Mission Impact
Every finding is translated into operational and business consequence — not theoretical CVE severity.
DoD-Proven
Methodology derived from U.S. military cyber protection team operations, refined across real-world engagements.

Who This Is For

Organizations that
can't afford to guess.

If your organization appears in threat intelligence reporting, operates critical infrastructure, or holds data that state-sponsored actors actively target — your adversaries have already profiled you. The question is whether you've profiled yourself first.

CINDR assessments are also used proactively — by organizations that haven't been hit yet but operate in sectors with known targeting activity and want to close exposure before it becomes an incident.

Know your exposure
before your adversaries do.

CINDR operators are ready to assess your environment with the same rigor applied to U.S. military networks.
