Metrics that matter.
Assurance that keeps up.
Meaningful metrics powered by continuous controls monitoring.
i-confidential and Quod Orbis have partnered to give organisations two things that rarely come together: clarity on which metrics actually matter, and continuous visibility to know whether the controls behind them are working, not just at audit time, but every day.
i-confidential brings the Metrics Capability Model, a practitioner-led approach to defining the right cyber security and control effectiveness metrics.
Quod Orbis brings the Continuous Controls Monitoring platform - the technology to automate, monitor and evidence those metrics in near real time.
"Are controls actually working - today and every day?"
The challenge.
Many organisations are still relying on manual, monthly control reporting, spreadsheets, self-attestation and audit cycles to understand whether their controls are working.
This creates challenges:
-
Metrics can be difficult to define and even harder to sustain
-
Manual control testing is time-consuming
-
Reporting is often backward-looking
-
Boards and regulators need clearer, more trusted insight
-
Control failures may not be visible until it is too late
The question is no longer “Do we have the right controls?”
It’s … “Are our controls actually working - today, tomorrow, every day?”
The i-confidential Metrics Capability Model.
Meaningful metrics start with understanding what matters.
Our Metrics Capability Model helps organisations define and mature cyber security metrics that reflect real control effectiveness and support better
risk-based decision making.
The model is designed to help organisations:
-
Identify the right metrics for their risk and control environment
-
Move beyond activity-based reporting towards effectiveness-based insight
-
Understand control performance across key dimensions
-
Support better conversations with boards, risk committees and regulators
-
Build a practical roadmap for metric maturity

Any Data Source,
Any Control & Any Framework
Bringing metrics to life through Continuous Controls Monitoring .
Once the right metrics are defined, Quod Orbis’ Continuous Controls Monitoring platform helps automate how they are measured, monitored and reported.
Any Data Source, Any Control & Any Framework.
The platform enables organisations to:
-
Continuously monitor control effectiveness
-
Reduce manual evidence gathering
-
Automate data collection from source systems
-
Identify gaps, failures and trends earlier
-
Maintain a more current view of risk and assurance
-
Provide trusted reporting for stakeholders
This helps shift organisations from periodic assurance to continuous, data-driven visibility across the entire business ecosystem.
Why this partnership matters.
Together, i-confidential and Quod Orbis combine advisory expertise with enabling technology.
i-confidential helps answer:
What should we measure, why does it matter, and how does it support better risk decisions?
Quod Orbis helps answer:
How do we measure it continuously, automate the evidence, and keep the picture current?
The result is a practical route to stronger cyber governance, improved control confidence and more meaningful assurance.
