Construction Firm Aligns Security Roadmap with Financial Objectives, Eliminating Over $3M in Cyber Risk

BACKGROUND

Protecting a Commercial Leader with Disparate IT Systems

As a $1B parent company with dozens of semi-autonomous subsidiaries, this construction firm faced a fragmented IT and security landscape. With each business unit managing its own infrastructure, aligning cybersecurity efforts under a unified, financially driven strategy was a major challenge.

CHALLENGE

Lacking a Common Language Between Security and Business

The security team struggled to align its roadmap with corporate financial goals due to a lack of clear risk quantification and ROI metrics. Without a shared language to connect cybersecurity efforts to business outcomes, prioritizing investments and securing leadership support proved difficult.

SOLUTION

Translating Threat Data into a Prioritized Strategic Roadmap

Using the Resilience Edge platform, the firm translated complex threat data into a prioritized Cyber Action Plan tied to financial ROI. This approach uncovered high-impact controls, like advanced privileged access management, and guided leadership-backed investments that reduced extreme loss risk by over 30%.

RESULTS

Eliminating Over $3 Million in Potential Cyber Risk

By implementing prioritized controls, the firm mitigated over $3 million in potential losses and cut extreme loss risk by more than 30%. Security investments are now clearly tied to business value, enabling leadership to make confident, data-backed decisions.
