Financial Impact Analysis

Quantify the financial risk of your security posture

What it does

Key capabilities

Financial Impact Grade

Produces an A–F grade based on your security spend, insurance coverage, and budget composition — a single signal for board-level risk conversation.

Spend Breakdown

Visualises how your IT budget is distributed across tools, infrastructure, services, and security — showing what proportion is actively reducing risk.

Insurance Coverage Analysis

Evaluates your cyber insurance posture relative to your risk exposure, surfacing undercoverage that increases financial impact in a breach scenario.

Risk Gap Identification

Highlights where your spend allocation creates financial risk — underinvestment in security controls or coverage gaps that should be addressed.

Trend Visibility

Track how your financial impact grade changes over time as budget decisions are made, demonstrating the ROI of security investment.

Board-Ready Reporting

Translate technical security posture into financial risk language — a format finance, audit, and board committees understand and can act on.

Frequently asked questions

The grade (A through F) is derived from three inputs: total security spend as a percentage of IT budget, cyber insurance coverage relative to estimated breach cost, and budget composition (proportion allocated to active risk reduction vs. infrastructure and services). An organisation spending less than 10% of IT budget on security with minimal insurance coverage typically scores D or F.

The module compares your declared cyber insurance coverage limit against estimated breach costs for your sector and organisation size. If your coverage limit is significantly below the estimated cost of a serious incident — data breach, ransomware recovery, regulatory fine, and business interruption combined — the gap is flagged as a material financial risk.

Financial Impact Analysis translates technical security posture into monetary risk language — the format boards and finance committees understand. Instead of discussing CVE counts, it frames the conversation around financial exposure: what a breach would cost, whether insurance covers it, and whether current spending adequately reduces the probability of that cost.

Yes. Every time budget line items are updated in Budget Manager — a new tool is purchased, insurance is renewed, a contract lapses — the Financial Impact grade recalculates. Historical grades are retained so you can demonstrate to auditors and the board that the organisation's financial security posture has improved as investment decisions were made.
