Tired of Guessing If Your Cybersecurity Budget Is Actually Working?

It's a common challenge. You invest in the latest cybersecurity tools, but are they truly reducing your risk? Many organisations struggle to connect their cybersecurity spending with actual outcomes.

Arco Cyber changes that. We shift the focus from simply acquiring security tools to achieving measurable cybersecurity outcomes.

Instead of asking "Do we have enough firewalls?", we help you answer questions like "How well are we protected against ransomware attacks?".

Here's how Arco Cyber helps:

Outcome-Driven Metrics (ODM): Define and track key metrics that directly reflect your cybersecurity goals. Go beyond simple counts of security incidents and focus on the impact of those incidents on your business.
Protection Level Agreements (PLA): Establish clear and measurable agreements that define the level of protection you expect for different assets and business processes. Track progress and hold your security team accountable.
Real-time risk identification: Continuously monitor and analyse your security posture to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

By focusing on outcomes and using data-driven insights, Arco Cyber empowers you to make informed decisions about your cybersecurity investments and ensure that your budget is being used effectively.

Why Arco?

Because Cybersecurity Investment is Broken

Boards and partners struggle to manage cybersecurity as a business issue. Consequently, explaining the business value of security controls to CFOs remains challenging.

Cybersecurity is now the top technology investment priority. Since 2022, 88% of boards view security as a business issue. In 2024, 38% of partners consider security critical for enterprise and revenue growth.

Why Outcome-Driven Metrics Outperform Maturity Models

While most firms will be performing Cyber Maturity assessments which offer a high-level view of an organisation’s security practices, they fail to measure the most important aspect—actual risk posture.

This is where Outcome-Driven Metrics (ODMs) provide a significant advantage by focusing on measurable protection levels rather than abstract progress.

Key Challenges:

Traditional Maturity Models Fail to Measure Real Risk

Maturity models typically measure how well a company has implemented security processes, but they often don’t provide any real visibility into the effectiveness of those measures in reducing actual risk.

ODMs Link Security Outcomes Directly to Business Costs

Partners face challenges in understanding the direct business value of cybersecurity investments. ODMs solve this by directly linking security outcomes to cost.

A Practical Example of ODMs in Action

“How fast do we patch vulnerabilities?”

Take the process of patching vulnerabilities, You may track metrics like “unpatched vulnerabilities” which don't offer real insight into the organisation’s risk exposure.

The key question that organisations should be asking is:

“How fast do we patch vulnerabilities?”

Faster patching times lead to a tangible improvement in security outcomes. This ODM provides actionable insights, guiding your security teams and executives alike to make decisions that genuinely reduce risk, rather than relying on abstract maturity scores that offer little clarity on immediate vulnerabilities.

Introducing Protection Level Agreements (PLAs):

Aligning Security with Business Needs

Organisations can implement Protection Level Agreements (PLAs)

Much like service-level agreements (SLAs), PLAs provide an expected performance level agreed between security teams and business leaders, taking into consideration the investment provided.

A firm may agree to maintain a 30-day patch cycle at a specific cost—say, £1 million per year.
PLAs take the guesswork out of cybersecurity, allowing business leaders to focus on what they do best—steering the organisation—while security teams focus on delivering specific, measurable outcomes.

ODMs and PLAs bridge the gap between cybersecurity professionals and the executive suite.

Security leaders can ask the CEO: “How many days would you like your systems to remain vulnerable to hacking? and How much are you prepared to invest to achieve this?”

A Smarter, Outcome-Focused Approach

By adopting ODMs and PLAs, firms can make more informed, data-driven decisions that not only improve their security posture but also align with their overall business strategy.
