The international risk standard

ISO 27005 is the international standard for conducting cyber risk management. It structures the analysis into clear phases and produces a comprehensive view of the threats facing your organisation.

Galea fully implements ISO 27005:2022 and automates the most time-consuming parts: AI scenario generation, score suggestions, and security measure identification.

✓ Recognised internationally and by ENISA
✓ Compatible with ISO 27001, NIS2, LPM
✓ Recognised by auditors and insurers
✓ Adaptable to organisations of any size

How Galea implements each step

Workshop 1

Scoping and security baseline

Definition of scope, business values, supporting assets and existing security baseline.

What Galea does
  • Import of existing IT inventory
  • Automatic categorisation of business values
  • Identification of associated supporting assets
  • Assessment of initial security baseline
Generated deliverables
  • Business values table
  • Supporting assets map
  • Security baseline assessment
  • Documented study scope
Workshop 2

Risk sources

Identification and characterisation of risk sources (RS) and their targeted objectives (TO).

What Galea does
  • Pre-loaded RS catalogue by sector
  • Attacker motivation, capability and activity
  • RS/TO pairs assessed automatically
  • Retained / not retained with justification
Generated deliverables
  • List of assessed RS
  • Retained RS/TO pairs
  • Attacker profile
  • Threat map
Workshop 3

Strategic scenarios

Construction of strategic scenarios. AI generates realistic attack paths.

What Galea does
  • AI generation of 3–5 scenarios per pair
  • Path: Recognise → Enter → Find → Exploit
  • Severity assessment G1–G4
  • Likelihood V1–V4
Generated deliverables
  • Documented strategic scenarios
  • Strategic heat map
  • Assessed feared events
  • Identified business impacts
Workshop 4

Operational scenarios

Breakdown into technical action sequences. MITRE ATT&CK mapping.

What Galea does
  • Automatic MITRE ATT&CK mapping
  • Adversary techniques contextualised
  • Targeted supporting assets identified
  • Attack path visualisation
Generated deliverables
  • Detailed operational scenarios
  • Attack path graph
  • Mapped MITRE techniques
  • Operational risk matrix
Workshop 5

Risk treatment

Security measures prioritised according to the G·P·D·R model.

What Galea does
  • AI recommendations ranked by G·P·D·R
  • Governance, Protection, Defence, Resilience
  • Residual risk estimation
  • ROI-prioritised treatment plan
Generated deliverables
  • Risk treatment plan
  • Documented residual risk
  • Full ISO 27005 report (PDF)
  • Executive board summary

Concrete scenarios, ready to act on

In minutes, Galea generates realistic attack scenarios for each of your assets, scored and linked to known adversary techniques. Here is a preview — the full analysis awaits you in a demo.

V4 × G4 = 16
Reduce

Ransomware via targeted phishing on the finance ERP

Risk source: organised cybercriminal group → Target objective: financial extortion

Know → Enter → Find → Exploit

The attacker gathers public information on employees, sends a booby-trapped email aimed at the accounting team, gains initial access, then pivots to the core of the financial IT estate before encrypting the data and demanding a ransom. Galea reconstructs the full chain, mapped to known adversary techniques.

ReconnaissanceInitial accessLateral movementImpact
V3 × G3 = 9
Reduce

Patient data breach via directory compromise

Risk source: state-sponsored attacker → Target objective: espionage, health data

Know → Enter → Find → Exploit

Full attack chain detailed — vulnerability in remote access, lateral movement, privilege escalation, exfiltration to adversary infrastructure.

V2 × G3 = 6
Accept

CRM unavailability through a denial-of-service attack

Risk source: hacktivist → Target objective: disruption of business activity

Know → Enter → Find → Exploit

Attack chain detailed — reconnaissance of exposed services, amplification, network saturation and prolonged unavailability.
