Cyber AI Readiness Assessment
A CYBAIR-driven posture and compliance assessment of the AI workloads you actually run — CRI score, framework crosswalk, evidence package, and a remediation roadmap that tracks to closure. Compliance is included; it is not a second package.
Operational Friction & Multipolar Mandate
Why traditional ad-hoc approaches fail at scale, and the precision protocol deployed to resolve it.
Why this engagement exists
Most organizations cannot answer a direct question about whether their AI deployments are secure or defensible, because posture is measured at the wrong level. Generic GRC scanners report policy checkboxes; they do not see the workload — the model, the RAG pipeline, the agentic workflow — where exposure actually lives. Compliance, evidence, and attestation are then treated as a second project, assembled by hand the moment an auditor, insurer, or customer asks for proof.
- ✕Security reviews describe controls in general but cannot produce workload-level posture on demand.
- ✕An auditor, insurer, or customer request triggers a manual evidence scramble that takes weeks.
- ✕Compliance obligations (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, CMMC) are tracked in spreadsheets disconnected from the systems they govern.
- ✕Remediation findings arrive as a dump with no owner, sequence, or closure tracking.
Engineered scope & execution
We profile the AI workloads you nominate on CYBAIR — models, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows — and score each one for architecture, controls, and exposure. The engagement then turns those scores into a board-ready Cyber Readiness Index, a crosswalk to the frameworks that actually bind you, an evidence and attestation strategy, and a remediation plan with owners and closure tracking. Each workload is a CYBAIR unit at $5,000; the engagement fee covers the judgment around the scores.
- ✓Workload nomination workshop and scope confirmation
- ✓CYBAIR profiling and CRI scoring of every nominated workload
- ✓Framework crosswalk to the regimes that bind your organization
- ✓Evidence and attestation strategy for auditors, insurers, and customers
- ✓Sequenced remediation plan with owners, tracked to closure
What You Take Away
Every deliverable is named, structured, and tied to an immutable operational outcome. Nothing ships as a slide deck with no longevity.
CRI posture scorecard with evidence package
A Cyber Readiness Index score per workload with the control-level findings and supporting evidence underneath each score.
You can show a defensible, workload-level posture number to a board, insurer, or regulator — with the evidence attached, not promised.
Framework compliance crosswalk
Each workload mapped against the regimes that bind you — EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, CMMC, and any additional frameworks in your environment.
Compliance questions get answered from the assessment itself instead of launching a separate gap-analysis project.
Evidence & attestation strategy
What evidence to keep, how it is generated, and the attestation language boards, insurers, and regulators will accept.
The next audit or insurance review starts from prepared evidence instead of a fire drill.
Prioritized remediation roadmap
Findings sequenced by risk and effort, each with an owner, a priority, and a closure criterion — not a findings dump.
Your team knows exactly what to fix first, and leadership can track remediation to completion.
Executive narrative
The posture story translated out of engineering language: what is exposed, what is defensible, and what it takes to close the gap.
Leadership and the board can make funding and risk decisions from a single, honest picture.
How This Engagement Runs
Structured gates from initial telemetry and baseline ingestion to verified exit capabilities.
Scope the workloads
You nominate the AI systems in play — models, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows. Each one is a CYBAIR unit; we confirm the estate, the sensitivity envelope, and the frameworks that bind you before scoring starts.
Profile and score
CYBAIR profiles architecture, controls, and exposure for each nominated workload and produces a Cyber Readiness Index with mapped frameworks. We work with your system owners, not around them.
Evidence and attestation
We turn scores into an evidence package and an attestation strategy: what to keep, how it is generated, and the language boards, insurers, and regulators will accept.
Remediation to closure
Findings become a sequenced plan with owners, priority, and closure criteria. We close with an executive briefing — and a path into the Cyber Readiness retainer if you want the picture kept current.
Interactive Pricing Studio & Scope Engine
Our pricing is engineered, not asserted. Configure your organization profile and estate parameters to see the exact real-time cost breakdown.
Configure Your Parameters
The fee moves on three objective multipliers—Sensitivity, Involvement, and Org Type. Each factor reflects real operational handling and operator time.
Sensitivity
×0.90 – ×1.30 on the engagement feeSensitivity sets the handling envelope around the whole engagement: how data moves, where evidence lives, who can touch it, and what containment we must maintain. Higher sensitivity means cleared handling, segregated evidence, and slower, more deliberate operations — real cost that a flat fee would hide.
Involvement
×0.85 – ×1.35 on the engagement feeInvolvement is how much Multipolar operator time is on the hook. Counsel at checkpoints is a different commitment than embedded delivery inside your team, your systems, and your cadence. The multiplier tracks senior hours actually committed — not a markup.
Organization type
×0.85 – ×1.25 on the engagement feeThe same technical work lands differently depending on who is buying it. Federal and defense engagements carry procurement, compliance, security review, and stakeholder alignment that a mid-market engagement does not. The multiplier prices the coordination and accountability surface, not the analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Specific intelligence regarding security clearance, deliverable ownership, platform telemetry, and execution cadence.
No. Framework crosswalks, evidence, and attestation are inside this assessment. We do not sell a standalone Cyber AI Compliance Assessment or Cyber Evidence & Attestation engagement — that work belongs here.
