PwC UK and Panaseer join forces to offer continuous Cyber Risk Monitoring

10 February 2021, London and New York: Panaseer, the first Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) platform for enterprise security, today announces that it has joined forces with PwC UK, a leader in cybersecurity consulting services, to offer continuous Cyber Risk Monitoring.

This will pave the way for continuous and accurate measurement, monitoring, and reporting of cyber risk. Panaseer and PwC UK bring together best-in-breed technology and consulting services. Gartner recognized CCM as a new product category in its 2020 Risk Management Hype Cycle and listed Panaseer as an inaugural vendor.

PwC UK was named a Leader in European Cybersecurity Consulting Services in the Forrester Wave™ for European Cybersecurity Consulting Providers in Q4 2019. Customers will be able to leverage executive reporting dashboards from PwC UK, which are informed by continuously updated, accurate, assurance metrics from Panaseer. Together the companies can meaningfully advise and improve a customer's risk posture.

The collaboration combines PwC UK’s strategic and executive reporting expertise with accurate and real-time security data from Panaseer’s CCM platform. This joint offering will reduce the risk of cyber incidents and fines, whilst saving time and resources that is currently spent on security reporting and compliance. By giving a holistic and quantitative view across the entire technical security landscape, customers can complete robust risk modeling and scoring to make risk-based diagnoses and decisions. They can also prioritize investments based on risks that matter the most, which will maximize RoI from risk reduction initiatives.

Charaka Goonatilake, CTO, Panaseer: “One of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity is visibility. As the threat landscape expands and regulatory pressures increase, it becomes even more important to be able to have a continuous and accurate measurement, monitoring, and reporting of cyber risk. This is what CCM enables. Our collaboration with PwC UK takes it one step further. By wrapping together our technology with its consulting services, risk modeling good practices,, and executive reporting dashboards, we are enabling customers to make critical decisions based on risk scoring and business context.”

Through Panaseer’s CCM platform, our clients can leverage existing tooling investments to effectively enable a strong continuous control monitoring capability with minimal further investment. This combined with our cyber risk advisory services and risk reporting will enable our clients to get the best value and protection.”
