making complex systems understandable
Lucid helps teams understand systems before they secure them. Build shared context about your systems before selecting security controls.
Most cybersecurity risk tooling starts with controls instead of system understanding. This leads to poorly scoped risks, misaligned controls, and ineffective approvals. Lucid solves this by enforcing context-first risk thinking.
Lucid implements the Contextualize phase of the NIST Risk Management Framework as a structured, interactive workflow.
Ground risk in real operational scenarios. Capture how systems are actually used, including failure and abuse scenarios.
Interactive architecture diagrams make trust boundaries and dependencies explicit. Build shared understanding across teams.
Define people, roles, and responsibilities early. Eliminate ambiguity before incidents occur with RACI matrices.
Systems, stakeholders, and assets are stored as reusable entities. Refine incrementally across assessments.
Structured workflows without bureaucracy. Accessible to non-security stakeholders while maintaining rigor.
Generate comprehensive system context that feeds formal RMF steps. Lightweight approval workflows included.
A guided 7-step workflow that builds comprehensive system context
Establish scope, intent, and constraints with foundational metadata
Document how the system is used, including failure scenarios
Visual architecture with interactive diagrams and connectors
Define people and roles associated with the system
Structured catalog of critical assets and resources
Clear responsibility mapping for security activities
Industrial control system layering for OT environments
Start with the Contextualize phase and create a reusable, auditable foundation for your security program.
