What a cyber attack would cost your business

Seven short steps about your business. We show what each incident would cost, where every number comes from and what brings it down. No sign-up: the calculation runs in your browser and your answers never leave your device.

Takes about 4 minutes
  • Data from 19 sources: Sophos, Verizon, the FBI, NetDiligence and more.
  • 250 countries, each with its data protection law.
  • Every version is tested on 10,000 simulated businesses before it goes live: same answers, same result.

Calculating your result

  1. Looking up data for your industry and size
  2. Simulating 10,000 ransomware attacks on a business like yours
  3. Working out breaches from how much data you keep
  4. Reading the data law of each country you chose
  5. Sorting from what costs you most to least
  6. Printing your ticket

How we calculate

For each type of attack (for example, ransomware or a data leak) we answer two questions: how much it would cost you if it happens, and how likely it is to happen in a year. We use Open FAIR, a public method for measuring risk in money.

An attack never costs the same twice. So, with your business data, we simulate 10,000 attacks of each type and note what each one cost. Then we line them up from cheapest to most expensive:

  • Typical: the one right in the middle of the line. Half of the attacks cost less and half cost more.
  • Bad case: an expensive attack, but a possible one. Only 1 in 10 costs more than that.

We do not use artificial intelligence. It is a fixed calculation: enter the same data and you get the same result.

In the result, every part of the cost has a “Where does this come from?”. There you see whether the number comes from a published study, from our own calculation based on those studies, or from an assumption: no study publishes it, so we estimate it and mark it.
