Demonstrate your cyber security return on investment
Demonstrate your cyber return on investment
Calculating, explaining, and delivering a quantified return on security investment is key to building trust with your business executive and external regulatory stakeholders. Quantifying the likelihood and total cost of cyber security risk scenarios, analysing “what if” baskets of remediation improvements, determining an optimal cyber resilience roadmap, and measuring progress requires expert knowledge, pragmatic approaches, and evidence- based frameworks.
Our cyber optimisation can help your organisation understand the cost and significance of your various cyber security risks, provide a solid justification for cyber security initiatives and a roadmap for timely value delivery.
At Avocado, we understand that building cyber resilience can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be.
- We can generate remediation alternatives based on best practices and align the allocation of your cyber investment to your quantified risk, to provide a robust and optimised risk buy-down over time.
- We have internationally recognised risk framework subject matter experts to help generate ideas and turn them into actions.
- We have some of the most experienced cyber security risk quantification practitioners in the Australian market.
- We can help close knowledge gaps, quantify risk, determine return on investment for cyber security initiatives, and monitor their risk buy-down.

Threat and Risk Assessment
What sets us apart
A Threat and Risk Assessment (TRA) is a process used to identify, assess and prioritise potential threats and vulnerabilities to an organisation’s information assets, and to develop financially justified strategies to mitigate those risks. The threat and risk assessment is an objective and risk-based approach to cyber planning, aligning to your unique business drivers with an optimal level of risk.
Our approach
We start by analysing your current controls and determining the dollar value risk of their impact on the business. We then prioritise your cybersecurity initiatives alongside IT priorities and bring the entire IT roadmap for the year together. This roadmap provides a clear picture of what you need to do, rather than what you think you need to do. Business leaders can filter risk scenarios to those worth considering in detail and prioritise risks with confidence.
Key Benefits
Our threat, risk and control assessments provide a more robust cybersecurity strategy, by:
- Building a comprehensive understanding of your threat and control landscape.
- Quantifying your risks in dollar value terms.
- Determining your optimal remediation activities, bringing together your IT and cyber roadmaps.
- Helping build business cases for the necessary investments.
