Free risk assessment
What would a breach actually cost you?
Answer six questions. I'll estimate your financial exposure, expected downtime, and annualized risk — using published industry data from IBM, Ponemon, and Verizon.
How this is calculated
Estimates blend three published sources:
- IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024 — global average breach cost ($4.88M), per-record cost ($169), and industry breakdown. Also: 258 days average to identify + contain.
- Ponemon Institute — per-record costs by data sensitivity (PHI up to $408, PII ~$169).
- Verizon DBIR 2024 — annual breach likelihood by industry (web app attacks now 26% of breaches; AI-assisted attacks rising).
These are averages — your actual exposure depends on your specific architecture. The audit turns this estimate into concrete findings.
