Consortium | ICS Top 5 Controls

Industrial control system (ICS) environments spend heavily on security controls, yet organizations often struggle to prove whether those investments meaningfully reduce cyber risk, downtime, or operational disruption. Our ICS Top 5 Controls Investment Optimization service quantifies the value of your current controls, identifies the improvements that deliver the greatest reduction in Annual Loss Expectancy (ALE), and prioritizes upgrades that pay for themselves through avoided losses and stronger resilience. The service aligns your ICS cybersecurity roadmap with real financial outcomes — not generic maturity scores or compliance checklists.

ICS Controls Mapped to Financial Impact

We quantify how inherent vs. residual cyber risk changes when ICS Top 5 controls are improved — providing facility-level and enterprise-level ALE reductions you can defend.

Outcome: Leadership can justify investment decisions with actuarial-grade financial evidence rather than assumptions.

High-Confidence Roadmap Prioritized by ROI

We design a sequence of improvements across the ICS Top 5 controls based on impact per dollar invested — accelerating exposure reduction with the least disruption to operations.

Outcome: Budget goes to the highest-yield ICS control gains rather than slow, low-impact changes.

Clear Value Demonstration Across Portfolio

MTM dashboards visually track loss reduction, control uplift, and business disruption avoided over time — at the plant level and across the ICS estate.

Outcome: Boards, insurers, and finance teams see both realized and projected value from ICS cybersecurity investments.

ICS cybersecurity investments are often evaluated qualitatively, making it difficult to compare improvements, justify funding, or align plants and leadership on priorities. Consortium goes beyond maturity models — applying Metrics That Matter® actuarial modeling to quantify the true financial value of ICS controls. We integrate optimization into ongoing Program Optimization cycles, turning ICS investments into repeatable, measurable business value rather than one-time assessments.

Program Optimization

Continuous value realization

ICS improvements become part of an ongoing cycle of measurement, refinement, and investment prioritization — not a single static report.

Actuarial-Grade Risk Modeling

ALE leaders can stand behind

Loss and control effectiveness modeling is tailored to OT environments, producing credible financial projections backed by independent actuarial methods.

Plant-to-Board Storytelling

One language across roles

We translate plant-level risk and control movements into enterprise-ready financial narratives that accelerate budget approvals, renewal decisions, and insurer conversations.
