Breach cost vs continuous testing

Security spend is easy to question until you weigh it against what a breach actually costs. This calculator models your expected annual breach exposure against the cost of continuous penetration testing. The breach figures start from the IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025 averages, and every assumption is yours to change.

This model uses only the assumptions you enter. Expected loss is the breach cost multiplied by the likelihood you set. The breach cost defaults are the IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025 global and United States averages. It is an educational estimate, not a guarantee of outcomes.
