What Is MONARC?
MONARC (Méthode Optimisée d'analyse des risques CASES) is an open-source risk assessment tool developed by NC3 Luxembourg (formerly CASES Luxembourg), part of the Luxembourg government's cybersecurity ecosystem. It provides a streamlined, repeatable method for evaluating information security risks aligned with ISO/IEC 27005 and the ISO 27001 framework. MONARC enables organisations to identify assets, assess threats and vulnerabilities, evaluate impacts, and produce risk treatment plans — all within a structured, auditable workflow.
Originally designed for Luxembourg's public sector and SMEs, MONARC has grown into a widely adopted platform used by CERTs, government agencies, consultancies, and private companies across Europe and beyond. Now maintained by NC3 (formerly CASES), its strength lies in its pre-built knowledge bases of threats, vulnerabilities, and assets, which dramatically reduce the time needed to conduct thorough risk assessments. MONARC supports multiple concurrent risk analyses, making it ideal for organisations managing risk across several departments or clients.
While MONARC is free and open-source, deploying, configuring, and maintaining it effectively requires technical expertise. Many organisations need assistance with installation, database management, customisation of risk models, user training, and integration with existing security workflows. That is where ObsidianCorps steps in — providing the professional support that makes MONARC truly operational for your organisation.
Why Choose Professional MONARC Support?
MONARC is a powerful tool, but like any enterprise-grade platform, it requires proper deployment and ongoing management to deliver its full value. Organisations frequently encounter challenges during installation (PHP, Apache, MariaDB stack configuration), user and client management in multi-tenant setups, customisation of risk models and knowledge bases to match their specific industry and regulatory context, and keeping the platform updated and secure.
For Luxembourg businesses subject to NIS2, CSSF regulations, or pursuing ISO 27001 certification, having a correctly configured and maintained MONARC instance is critical. A poorly configured deployment can lead to inaccurate risk assessments, incomplete audit trails, and ultimately non-compliance. Professional support ensures your MONARC deployment is reliable, secure, and aligned with regulatory expectations from day one.
ObsidianCorps has deep expertise in the Luxembourg cybersecurity ecosystem. We understand the regulatory landscape, the threat environment, and the specific needs of organisations operating in the Grand Duchy. Our team can deploy, configure, and support MONARC so you can focus on what matters — managing your risks effectively.

"MONARC is one of the best open-source risk assessment tools available, developed right here in Luxembourg by NC3 (formerly CASES). But to get real value from it, you need proper deployment, customised knowledge bases, and people who understand both the tool and the regulatory context. We bridge that gap — turning MONARC from a software installation into a fully operational risk management capability."
