Cyber Risk Quantifier: What Would a Breach Cost You?

Updated · Aug 2026 By ITSECOPS Free · No signup

Boards do not budget for “vulnerabilities” — they budget for euros. This free Cyber Risk Quantifier turns your company profile into a modeled annual loss exposure figure, scenario-by-scenario costs and the three moves that cut the number most. The kind of report platforms charge five figures a year for.

How the model works

The quantifier uses a simplified FAIR-style model: an annual incident likelihood (base rate adjusted for industry, size, supply-chain reliance and your controls) multiplied by scenario impacts — operational outage costed from your revenue and downtime tolerance, data-breach costs from records held and regional regulatory exposure, and payment-fraud losses. Every figure is a modeled estimate for budgeting and board discussion, in the same spirit as our CMMC Cost Index: transparent assumptions, no black box, no survey theatre.

FAQ

How do you quantify cyber risk in money terms?

Annual loss exposure = likelihood of a significant incident × expected cost when it happens. Enterprise CRQ platforms wrap this in actuarial data; this free tool applies the same logic with published breach-cost patterns so any executive can get a defensible starting number in two minutes.

What does a cyber incident cost a mid-sized company?

For a 50–250 employee company, modeled exposure typically lands between €150K and €900K per year depending on industry, records held and controls — with tested backups and 24×7 monitoring being the two biggest reducers.

Is this a substitute for a risk assessment?

No — it is the executive conversation-starter. A proper assessment validates the inputs, tests the controls and produces auditable evidence. We do that as a free initial review.
