Innovation

Thirty-five years of methodology and platform work in security, governance, risk management, and compliance. The items below are what RESCOR has actually contributed to the field — each one still in active client use, each one with a dedicated page describing how it works and what it is for.

RAPID

1992 — present

The first agile SGRC methodology. Short, iterative development cycles applied to security, governance, risk management, and compliance programs — years before the same ideas took hold in software engineering as Scrum and DevOps. Still the engagement framework behind every StrongCOR subscription and the implementation backbone of every STORM-based risk program.

RSK & STORM

1996 — 2026

The first quantitative security-testing methodology (RSK, 1996) and its modern descendant, Simplified Total Risk Management (STORM, 2013) — a quantitative risk-management methodology that produces objective, repeatable, and comparable measurements at the information cost of a qualitative assessment. Compatible with every major risk framework. Full mathematical foundations in the published STORM/RSK white paper.

ATRA

2026

STORM integrated with AI-driven data collection and a graph-backed risk model. ATRA reads the client's own artifacts — interview transcripts, scanner output, policy documents, audit reports — and proposes the Transform inputs STORM needs. Analysts review and approve. The result is a complete quantitative risk assessment at a fraction of the labor cost of a manual engagement, updated continuously rather than once a year.

StrongCOR

2003 — present

An SGRC engagement model built on the observation that security, governance, risk management, and compliance are ongoing work rather than project work. A flat monthly rate replaces project quotes; RAPID cycles happen on schedule rather than whenever calendars free up. Strict separation of duties between testing and support preserves objectivity.
