Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the budget calculators?

Our calculators use industry benchmarks from sources like IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report, Gartner research, and NIST guidelines. Results should be used as starting points for planning—actual costs vary based on your specific environment, vendor relationships, and implementation approach.

Can I export or share the results?

Most planning tools include PDF export functionality. You can generate professional reports suitable for budget proposals, board presentations, or client deliverables. Results include methodology notes explaining how figures were calculated.

Which compliance frameworks do these tools support?

Our planning tools reference requirements from HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, and NIST CSF. The cybersecurity budget calculator and maturity assessment both factor in compliance requirements when generating recommendations.

How can I use these results in compliance documentation?

Calculator outputs can support risk assessments, budget justifications, and business impact analyses required by frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001. The results document your methodology and assumptions, which auditors appreciate.
