Abstract: Pre-quality assurance (QA) quality estimation (PQE) includes uploading an audit documentation into a memory workspace of an audit data processing system, parsing the audit documentation to identify one or more control statements and one or more textual comments, characterizing the audit documentation according to a set of individual PQE Checks processing a formatting of the audit documentation and a facial appearance of the control statements and textual comments, generating a numeric score from the characterization and assigning the audit documentation for a QA process of specific timeframe and specific rigor in correspondence of the generated score.

Abstract: Threat activity statistical analysis driven adaptive control specification includes retrieving a data structure from over a computer communications network into memory of a computing device and parsing the data structure in the memory to extract a listing of different threat activities. Threat activity statistical analysis driven adaptive control specification also includes computing in the memory a statistical analysis of the different threat activities. Finally, threat activity statistical analysis driven adaptive control specification includes responding to the statistical analysis surpassing a threshold for an identified one of the different threat activities by determining a corresponding threat incorporating the identified one of the different threat activities in an associated kill chain, retrieving a control specification addressing the corresponding threat, and modifying the control specification to address changes in the corresponding threat.

Abstract: Risk modeling for cyberspace control deficiencies includes characterizing a subject organization and loading a baseline set of controls, each control mapping to one or more threats to the subject organization. For each of the threats, a baseline risk value is computed from a hypothetical implementation of the baseline set of controls. Concurrently, risk assessment data is uploaded for the subject organization and an implemented set of controls for the organization extracted therefrom. For each of the threats, one or more of the implemented set of controls are mapped thereto and a risk value computed. Thereafter, the baseline risk value compared to the computed risk value producing a risk deficit value. On condition that the risk deficit value exceeds a threshold value, a flag is written in association with the risk assessment data indicating a necessity to modify the implemented set of controls.
