Priorities are disconnected
Scans, audits, and risk registers identify issues, but rarely show which ones threaten delivery, product integrity, revenue, or recovery.
Business-Critical Cyber Mapping
See how cyber risk can disrupt the operations your business depends on.
CAST maps business-critical operations, exposes the shared dependencies behind them, and shows leadership which cyber risks deserve action first.
Built for aerospace suppliers, advanced manufacturers, robotics firms, industrial technology, connected-product companies, and other engineering-driven organizations.

The leadership gap
Technical findings do not tell executives what can stop the business.
CAST connects cyber conditions to operational disruption so leadership can make informed decisions about what to protect, fund, and fix.
Dependencies are hidden
Critical outcomes cross engineering, IT, operations, suppliers, cloud services, identities, and specialized technology.
Decisions lack a common picture
Executives and technical owners need one evidence-based view of operational consequence and accountable action.
The CAST methodology
Structured analysis, not ad hoc cybersecurity advice.
Every Critical Operations Cyber Review is conducted through the CAST BCCM Analysis System.
The structured model connects critical operations, dependencies, threat paths, evidence, assumptions, confidence, risk priorities, and accountable actions. It maintains a traceable line from business consequence to technical action.
Identify
Define the operations and business outcomes the company must preserve.
Map
Connect the people, technology, data, vendors, access paths, and recovery capabilities behind them.
Analyze
Trace credible cyber disruption paths through shared dependencies and operational chokepoints.
Prioritize
Rank risk by business consequence, supporting evidence, and confidence.
Act
Give leadership clear decisions, accountable owners, and a sequenced 90-day plan.
What you receive
A decision-ready view of operational cyber risk.
One connected package gives executives the business context and technical owners the detail required to act.
Critical Operations Map
The outcomes the company must preserve, the relationships between them, and the shared dependencies supporting them.
Threat-Path and Risk Analysis
Credible disruption paths tied to evidence, confidence, affected operations, and material business consequences.
Executive Action Package
A prioritized risk register, executive summary, accountable owners, and sequenced 90-day action plan.

A fictional example is available for executives and prospective partners who want to evaluate the structure and depth of a CAST engagement. It demonstrates how the BCCM Analysis System turns operational evidence into decision-ready outputs.
Request the Worked ExampleWhy CAST
Cyber engineering judgment shaped by high-consequence operations.
Founder Hayden Tracy brings 7+ years across cybersecurity engineering, threat analysis, mission assurance, and operational dependency analysis.
CAST translates that experience into a commercial methodology focused on operational resilience and executive decisions. The experience below was performed as an employee under other organizations before establishing CAST.
NASA Gateway cybersecurity engineering
Connected cybersecurity requirements, implementation evidence, verification, mitigation, and residual-risk decisions.
USSF operational dependency analysis
Mapped dependencies, key cyber terrain, trust relationships, vulnerabilities, and operational chokepoints for priority space systems.
Threat and vulnerability operations
Analyzed 240+ CVEs and planned cyber hunt operations that identified 12 previously undocumented vulnerabilities.
