From pilot to capability: The journey to operationalise CRQ

Published on
May 13, 2025

CRQ can’t remain a pilot forever. To drive meaningful, repeatable value, it needs to mature into a business capability: trusted, embedded, and regularly informing decisions.

In this article, I share a four-stage CRQ maturity ladder. Each stage includes key actions to take, potential blockers, and traps to avoid. Together, these offer a roadmap to help CRQ evolve from a promising experiment to a business-critical capability.

We'll cover:

  • Stage 1: Explore and demonstrate value
  • Stage 2: Expand use and build confidence
  • Stage 3: Standardise and operationalise
  • Stage 4: Embed as capability

A risk-based approach to cyber budgets

Cybersecurity budgets are often poorly aligned with the actual level of risk to the organisation. Such misalignment can be driven by local challenges measuring and quantifying cyber risk, but it is compounded by the challenge of mapping perceived risk levels to security staff levels, controls, and approaches to risk mitigation. This article suggests a practical framework for leaders on how risk can become the driver of budgeting decisions.

The Future of MDR: From reactive monitoring to intelligence-led attack disruption

In today’s threat landscape, where attacks span identity, cloud, endpoint, data and third-party ecosystems, metrics such as alerts triaged, tickets closed and response times are no longer enough. What matters is whether an organisation can identify the threats that matter, disrupt them before they become business events, and use that insight to make better risk decisions.
