Archer IT & Security Risk Management

Archer IT & Security Risk Management is a specialized cybersecurity and technology risk governance solution engineered to help organizations discover, evaluate, and mitigate cybersecurity, infrastructure, and application risks. Operating as a core solution area within the Archer platform, it bridges the communication gap between technical security teams and executive risk leadership by mapping technical vulnerabilities to business asset impact.

The platform ingests asset and vulnerability telemetry from leading scanners (Qualys, Rapid7, Tenable), SIEM solutions, and enterprise CMDBs like ServiceNow, linking technical infrastructure to critical business processes and applications. It provides pre-configured assessment templates aligned with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, and PCI DSS, supporting automated threat modeling and control gap analysis. Common enterprise use cases include maintaining an accurate catalog of business-critical IT assets, conducting comprehensive security risk assessments, tracking vulnerability remediation SLAs, and managing cyber incident escalation workflows.

Through automated risk scoring algorithms, Archer IT & Security Risk Management evaluates asset criticality, technical vulnerability severity, and threat actor exploit likelihood to prioritize security remediation tasks for IT operations teams. Security leaders and CISOs obtain actionable risk dashboards that quantify cyber exposure and demonstrate return on security investments to executive boards. The platform hardens technical defenses, slashes remediation backlogs, and ensures continuous alignment with cybersecurity governance benchmarks.
