Who We Are
Cyber Risk International (CRI) was founded in 2014 by Paul C Dwyer. Paul is recognised as one of the worlds foremost experts on cyber security, risk and privacy.
CRI believe the answer to the cyber challenge lies in leadership. Leadership need to be empowered so that they can avail of the opportunities to embrace innovation whilst managing the associated cyber risks.
Initially CRI supported organisations by delivering strategic cyber risk advisory services with their cadre of cyber security experts. As demand grew, CRI knew the only way they could help more organisations and scale was to develop a solution.
In 2015, CyberPrism v1.0 was born! This methodology delivered as a B2B SaaS solution meant CyberPrism could now globally scale and work with businesses of all sizes in all sectors.
As we head into 2020, CRI have fully transitioned from a “traditional service” business model to a “tech” company delivering consultancy in the cloud. Our global foot print now includes offices in Dublin, London and New York and clients/partners around the globe.

“I would highly recommend CyberPrism. It is easy to use, you don’t need a degree in IT, you just need to know your business. CyberPrism gives you the peace of mind that you have the controls in place to meet your business’s cyber inherent risk. The inherent risk is calculated for your organisation not a sector in general and thereby lets you know what your cyber maturity should be. You can easily identify any gaps in and what you need to do to improve your controls. As well as calculating your inherent and maturity risk CyberPrism produces reports for the Board and Regulators. If you improve or add a new control you can simply change your answer to the specific question and thus improve your score and generate a new report.”

“CyberPrism is a powerful tool that is easy to use, and has allowed us to measure our inherent risk in relation to Cyber Security. The CyberPrism staged process assists your business in planning and implementing a Cyber Strategy in-line with industry standards such as ISO27001, COBIT, PCI DSS, ISSA to name a few. As a highly regulated business, CyberPrism has guided us on our journey in Cyber Security ensuring we abide and implement an advance strategy in line with required standards and requirements. The powerful dashboards and reports easily display and explain your’ inherent risk and assist in implementing improvements across your business while explaining in simple terms to all levels of Management & Staff Cyber Risk requirements. I would highly recommend CyberPrism to all that need to start or are reviewing their Cyber Strategy.”

We were looking for a cyber security solution to enable us to protect and enable the business to function securely. We ran detailed evaluations and side-by-side comparisons for a number of the leading solutions and chose CRI because they offered the features we required at a competitive price, their expertise and a support throughout the project was excellent and have become an important partner for Ryanair in implementing our Cyber Security Roadmap.”

An eye opening course bringing to life exactly what a CISO is and maybe more importantly what is isn’t. Many lightbulb moments that will help refocus how to better align security with the business, and what it takes to be successful.

We engaged CRI to perform an independent cyber risk assessment of the firm and its operations. The CRI team were professional and thorough from initial engagement through to the completion of the project. We were impressed with their in-depth knowledge and focus on providing practical and actionable solutions across the cybersecurity / IT framework.
