Methodology & Assumptions

Risk Exposure

Calculated from the estimated number of incidents per year (based on company size) multiplied by the average cost per incident you specified.

Risk Reduction (vCISO Impact)

The model applies an illustrative 65% reduction assumption based on proactive security leadership, policy implementation, and incident response planning. It is not a measured Cybernow result or a guarantee.

Compliance Savings

Annual cost avoidance from compliance audits, fines, and legal fees for selected frameworks. Loi 25: $22.5K, SOC 2: $55K, ISO 27001: $40K.

ROI & Payback

ROI is calculated as total annual benefit divided by vCISO investment (shown as a range). Payback period is the optimistic scenario (minimum vCISO cost).
