Breach Cost Estimator Report

Security consultants know the risks. The problem is making execs feel them. This skill takes a company's size, sector, and data types and produces a formatted financial exposure report — itemising realistic breach costs across downtime, IR, legal, fines, and reputational damage, and mapping each security gap to its contribution to that number.

Built on IBM/Ponemon Cost of a Data Breach methodology and calibrated to company size and sector — not generic enterprise averages. The output is a document you can hand to a CFO, use as a board briefing, or send as part of a consulting proposal.

Also works as a lead generation tool: give a free or low-cost version to prospects who will not sign an engagement, and let the numbers do the selling. Developed by the Cautra Security global consulting team.

Replaces a free web calculator with a formatted, credible, deliverable document. Saves 3-5 hours of bespoke research and writing for consultants. One conversation with a CFO that results in a security engagement = many multiples of the $29 cost.
