How Upstream Risk Translation Works
Geopolitical Risk Posture
Translating geopolitical events into early warning signals for cyber teams.
Maps state actor incentives, supply chain dependencies, and regulatory trends into threat model inputs before they appear in vulnerability databases.
Framework includes:
– Vendor exposure assessment through geopolitical lens
– Policy signal detection (6-12 months before publication)
– Game theory primer for anticipating actor behavior
Policy Translation Method
Reading regulatory intent before formal publication.
Translates policy drafts, comment periods, and legislative signals into
technical roadmaps—giving organizations months (not weeks) to prepare.
Applied to:
– FedRAMP evolution and CMMC program changes
– HIPAA/GDPR requirement interpretation
Federal procurement mandate anticipation
Incentive Analysis for Control Design
Understanding why audits fail and controls succeed.
Analyzes stakeholder incentives (auditors, engineers, executives) to design GRC programs that survive audit pressure and maintain operational tempo.
Principle:
Audit findings predict less than incentive structures.
Compliance-in-operations architectures outperform checkbox theater.
