Imagine you’ve just completed three acquisitions in a year and a half. Now your CFO is asking for a cyber risk management update for the board, but your security team is overwhelmed with manual assessments across many business units. No one can agree on the total exposure. This is exactly the challenge Resilience Arc aims to address. Resilience, a cyber risk solutions company, announced Arc, a new platform that gives organizations with multiple entities ongoing, portfolio-wide visibility into their cyber risks. It also links this data directly to insurance decisions.
The Cyber Risk Problem Arc Solves
As companies grow through mergers, acquisitions, and expansion, their cyber risks increase. Security teams often have to manage different controls across business units and struggle to measure overall risk. Parent companies face the financial impact of incidents without knowing exactly where the risks are or how they move between entities. Traditional assessments don’t help much, they’re manual and only reflect a single moment in time. By the time a CFO sees the report, it’s already outdated. Arc changes this by providing a constantly updated view of the entire portfolio.
What Arc Does
Arc brings consistency to risk management for every entity in a portfolio and measures total cyber exposure in financial terms. CEO Vishaal ‘V8’ Hariprasad summed up the daily challenge for his clients: “For CISOs of complex organizations, it can feel like running hundreds of organizations.” Arc tackles this by automating risk assessments for each entity, cutting manual work by about 80% each year. It highlights and ranks the risks most likely to cause financial loss or trigger insurance claims. Resilience’s Risk Operations Center keeps watch over the entire portfolio, using risk models based on insurance claims data and real-world threat intelligence to make financial projections more accurate.
The Numbers That Matter
The improvements are substantial. Companies using Arc say they have lowered their portfolio risk assessment costs by up to $900,000 each year. They also spend 75% less time gathering data for board reports, and security teams save over 130 hours per entity on assessments. These numbers are based on real results, not just estimates, and show the cost of the manual processes Arc replaces. For CFOs and General Counsel, the benefits are clear. As Hariprasad said: “Arc brings clarity to how risk builds across the portfolio.” This clarity helps organizations allocate resources better and make smarter insurance decisions.
Connected To Insurance Decisioning
Arc is built to work closely with insurance coverage. Resilience designed it so that portfolio-level risk insights feed directly into insurance decisions. Arc works with Resilience’s cyber insurance features, such as immediate coverage for new acquisitions, support during transitions, and longer reporting periods. This integration is important because the same data used to reduce risk also shapes how coverage is set up and priced. For private equity firms managing groups of acquired companies, being able to include a new entity in a consistent risk system from the start has real financial benefits.

A Pattern, Not A Product
Arc is the next step in Resilience’s growth. At Cyber Insurance News, we’ve followed this journey. Resilience first launched a Cyber Risk Calculator to turn threats into financial projections for single organizations. Then it expanded its insurance offerings to serve companies with over $10 billion in revenue and broadened Tech E&O coverage to new markets. Each step brought security, risk measurement, and insurance closer together. Now, Arc brings this approach to entire portfolios.
What This Means For Underwriters And Brokers
Managing cyber risk across multiple entities has always been a tough challenge for underwriters. It’s hard to measure and price the total exposure in a portfolio of acquired companies. Arc gives brokers and underwriters a tool to see that exposure in financial terms. It also lets insured companies show their ongoing risk status at renewal time. For underwriters, this changes how they talk about risk. For brokers, it offers new value for large and complex clients. Cyber insurance is moving toward continuous risk management, and Arc is a clear move in that direction.
