Maintain Full Risk Visibility With Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM)
Effective cyber GRC requires that security leaders maintain an accurate, up-to-date view of their cybersecurity controls posture. However, traditional assessments only provide period snapshots. Kovrr’s cyber risk quantification (CRQ), powered by Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM), bridges this gap by ingesting live controls data and automatically updating risk exposure as changes occur, delivering insights that support better-informed GRC decisions.




An Azure storage resource drops below encryption compliance levels (a common misconfiguration).
Azure Resource Manager (ARM) emits a posture update, which ARG indexes almost instantly.
Using API access scope via Azure RBAC, Kovrr retrieves the updated data along with contextual information.
Kovrr’s CCM engine maps the control change to financial scenarios and updates exposure forecasts.
The updated risk levels appear in Kovrr’s CRQ dashboard, helping stakeholders make informed decisions.

Outdated Control Data Leads to Skewed Strategies
Many organizations rely on scheduled audits and manual inputs to understand their cybersecurity posture. But real-time controls maturity can change rapidly, and even small misconfigurations or vulnerabilities can drastically shift risk exposure levels. Without real-time updates:
Material risks may go undetected
Compliance gaps could widen
Strategic decisions become obsolete
Control posture is constantly changing, and cyber risk insights need to keep up.
How Continuous Control Monitoring Works
Kovrr’s CCM engine continuously feeds updated controls data into CRQ models, closing the gap between an organization’s operational reality and its documented cyber risk profile. It:
Ingests live security signals from controls or enterprise data lakes
Ingests live security signals from controls or enterprise data lakes
Updates financial outputs in real-time, including Average Annual Loss
Delivers actionable results within Kovrr’s CRQ dashboard
This process ensures every control change is instantly reflected in the financial risk insights.


Seamless Integration With Your Security Ecosystem
Kovrr’s CCM engine integrates directly with your existing cloud and security infrastructure. Commonly connected data lake sources include:
Azure Resource Graph (ARG)
Microsoft Defender for Cloud
AWS Security Hub
Google Cloud Asset Inventory
SIEM or data lake connectors via API
All data signals are normalized, deduplicated, and mapped to Kovrr’s security control taxonomy, offering a unified view of your maturity posture.
Supporting Compliance and Cyber GRC Alignment
Whether you’re building a new GRC program, addressing regulatory requirements, or preparing for the next board meeting, real-time CRQ powered by CCM provides the evidence and accuracy needed to act decisively.
Kovrr’s CCM engine supports alignment with:
SEC cyber disclosure rules
DORA Articles 6, 24, and 25
NIS 2 Directive (Article 20)
ISO/IEC 27001
CIS v8 controls and sub-controls
By ensuring cyber risk quantification reflects live posture data, Kovrr helps teams stay compliant and aligned with defensible evidence.

Turn Insight Into Action
Kovrr’s financial cyber risk insights, powered by CCM, not only highlight vulnerabilities and control gaps. They drive smarter investments, faster remediation, and measurable improvement in your cybersecurity posture.


Cyber Budgeting and Risk Prioritization FAQs
Request a DemoWhat is Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM)?
Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) is the practice of automatically and continuously evaluating an organization's cybersecurity controls to ensure they are not only properly configured and functioning as intended but also accurately reflected in assessments. Unlike point-in-time audits, CCM provides real-time insights into the organization's security posture and maturity, helping teams to quickly identify misconfigurations, control drift, or other emerging risks.
How does Continuous Control Monitoring power cyber risk quantification (CRQ)?
Kovrr's platform integrates CCM data directly into its on-demand CRQ models to dynamically update financial risk metrics and scenario likelihoods. As controls change and infrastructure evolves, our CRQ platform will then recalculate these exposure levels in real time, ensuring cyber risk reporting is up-to-date and actionable. This direct integration bridges the gap between operational activity and executive-level strategization.
How does combining CRQ and CCM transform cyber GRC programs?
Traditional cybersecurity programs rely on scheduled assessments and static control reports, which often lag behind an organization's real-time cyber posture. However, by combining CRQ with Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM), Kovrr ensures that GRC operations are based on live, financially quantified insights, empowering teams to create more targeted, precise risk mitigation strategies that strengthen resilience.
Is CCM only available for Microsoft Azure environments?
No, the Azure integration example demonstrates how Kovrr's CRQ-CCM integration works in action. In practice, Kovrr supports this integration with multiple multi-cloud and hybrid environments. The platform can ingest control signals from diverse solutions by integrating with internal security data lakes via secure APIs or connecting directly to controls via secure APIs, allowing organizations to apply CCM and CRQ across their entire infrastructure.
