Kovrr
Kovrr is a cyber risk quantification platform I helped design as a core product designer in the company.
Over the years, I’ve worked closely with security leaders and risk analysts to design tools that translate statistical risk models into actionable business insights. My goal was to create an experience that helps CISOs understand their organization’s financial exposure to cyber threats - and communicate that exposure clearly to executives and stakeholders.

Challenge
The core challenge was translating statistical risk modeling and financial exposure data into a language that CISOs can understand, act on, and communicate upstream to their executive teams. The product needed to bridge deep, data-heavy models with day-to-day operational needs, making complex risk tangible, explainable, and actionable.
Solution
I designed an experience that puts clarity and control in the hands of CISOs. The interface translates probabilistic models into digestible visuals and narratives, aligning risk with potential business impact. I focused on enabling users to not only explore their organization’s exposure, but also justify it in financial terms, prioritize responses, and drive internal alignment - from security teams to the boardroom.
Risk Evaluation - Where CISOs start their day
I designed a dashboard that offers a calm, focused overview of the organization’s cyber risk landscape. Instead of overwhelming users with scattered data, I brought key insights - status, trends, and open tasks - into one structured, scannable view. It’s not just a screen - it’s a launchpad for action.
Zoom in without getting lost
The product needed to support both high-level strategy and deep operational work. I created an intuitive drill-down experience that lets users explore each framework, domain, and control in context.
It’s easy to track gaps, slice the data, and surface what really needs fixing.
Cyber risk, over time
This view helps users track their cyber risk over time, with visual comparisons that reveal both internal and external shifts.
The page presents the organization’s current risk alongside its theoretical minimum and maximum, based on control implementation, making it easy to see whether changes stem from the company’s actions or broader shifts in the threat landscape.
Granular breakdowns and parameter-based filters provide further context, while a built-in changelog highlights exactly what was updated between runs.
One place for every red flag
To support accountability and long-term planning, I added a dedicated Risk Register. It collects all identified risks in one sortable list - with ownership, severity, mitigation status, and comments. It’s the go-to place for anyone managing security at scale.
See what drives the model - and what you can do about it
Behind every quantified risk figure lies a sea of input data. This dashboard offers full transparency into the supporting information pulled from various integrated sources. It shows exactly what goes into the quantification model, helping users understand the logic behind their organization’s financial exposure.
Beyond just surfacing raw data, the view highlights actionable insights - enabling users to respond, communicate, and plan with greater confidence.

Goals
Prove to the board that the team is doing the right things to protect the company’s information assets.
Determine the right security strategy and policies for the organization while supporting the needs of the business.
Justify the budget he needs for next year.
Security isn’t just about keeping threats out - it’s about proving to the board, the business, and myself that we’re making the right choices, every day.”
Sam, The CISO
Pain Points
He is asked by executives and board to prove that he is making the right decisions and meeting his targets.
He needs to operate in a realm of high uncertainty when building his strategy - the connection between mitigation efforts and their actual effectiveness is vague.
Everyone wants proof we’re secure - but when the threats are invisible and the wins are things that don’t happen, how do you measure success?”
Sam, The CISO
Behaviors
Open to new ideas, technologies, and strategies, but rather cautious.
Tend to worry excessively about future events, potential dangers, and negative outcomes.
