See Risk the Way Your People Live It

Most security assessments measure controls and documentation. Our PATHScan™ behavioral risk assessment measures how people actually make decisions under time pressure, ambiguity, and cognitive load. We surface the human, cultural, and workflow factors that quietly drive incidents, workarounds, and policy drift, so you can focus on changes that actually move risk.

Who This Is For

PATHScan™ is designed for leaders in organizations of any size and complexity:

• CISOs, CROs, CAEs, CPOs, and CIOs accountable for enterprise risk and assurance.
• Organizations where “human error” is a recurring root cause in incidents and audit findings.
• Teams with strong technical controls on paper but inconsistent behavior in practice.

What We Assess

Culture & Norms

• How leaders signal priorities around security, speed, and convenience.
• Psychological safety for reporting incidents, near misses, and workarounds.
• Norms around policy exceptions, shadow IT, and “getting things done anyway.”

Decision Pathways

• Where fast, intuitive thinking (System 1) leads to risky shortcuts.
• When deliberate, analytical thinking (System 2) is bypassed due to time pressure.
• Escalation patterns, decision bottlenecks, and unclear ownership.

Friction & Control Usability

• Controls that create avoidable friction and drive workarounds.
• Misalignment between policy, tooling, and real-world workflows.
• UX issues that increase error likelihood, fatigue, or non-compliance.

Behavioral Signals & Metrics

• Training completion vs. real-world behavior patterns.
• Incident, phishing, and escalation data as behavioral indicators.
• Early warning signs of burnout, decision fatigue, and risk normalization.

How It Works

1. Discover – Executive interviews, document review, and data intake (incidents, access, phishing, HR indicators where appropriate).
2. Observe – Task-level observation and journey mapping of high-risk roles (clinicians, traders, engineers, operators, etc.).
3. Analyze – Map behavioral risk across business units, controls, and workflows, prioritizing by impact and ease of behavior change.
4. Translate – Convert insights into clear narratives, maturity scores, and a 90-day action roadmap tied to business outcomes.

What You Receive

• Behavioral Risk Map across people, process, and technology.
• Behavioral Personas & Scenarios for key roles and workflows.
• Maturity Scorecard for culture, decision hygiene, and control usability.
• Prioritized Intervention Backlog with effort/impact ratings.
• Executive Readout with board-ready narratives and metrics.

Outcomes

• Reduced likelihood and impact of human-driven incidents.
• Higher adoption of security controls with fewer workarounds.
• Clear visibility into behavioral hot spots before they become crises.
• Sharper, more credible narratives for regulators, auditors, and boards.
