ROI & TCO calculator

Build the business case for consolidating your risk stack.

An illustrative estimate of the annual savings and 3-year total cost of ownership of consolidating your risk and compliance stack onto one governed platform — computed live in your browser.

Your inputs

Adjust the numbers below — the estimate updates instantly. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

People who use the platform across risk, compliance, security and lines of business.

Full-time analysts whose time is spent on risk, controls, audit and compliance work.

Combined annual cost of the GRC, risk and compliance point tools you run today (licenses, integrations, admin).

Used only to model an illustrative expected annual cyber loss (a small share of revenue) — the basis for the loss-avoidance lever.

Current annual cyber-insurance premium. Evidenced, improving posture can support premium reductions at renewal.

Inbound customer/vendor security questionnaires your team answers each year. Automation drafts answers from live evidence.

Modules of interest

Broader coverage modestly increases the reclaimed-time and audit levers in this illustrative model.

How the estimate works

Three levers you can see all the way through.

No black box. The calculator is built from three plain-English levers, each with a single visible assumption — so the number it produces is one you can defend in a planning meeting.

Cyber loss avoidance

Models a small, illustrative share of revenue as expected annual cyber loss, then a conservative reduction from prioritizing and remediating the exposures that actually matter. Capability-framed — never a breach guarantee.

Cyber insurance & questionnaires

Evidenced, improving posture can support cyber-insurance premium reductions at renewal, and answering security questionnaires from live evidence removes most of the manual effort per response.

Consolidation & reclaimed time

Replacing overlapping point tools with one governed platform removes duplicate license, integration and admin spend, while continuous monitoring and governed AI drafting cut the manual hours your risk and security FTEs spend assembling evidence.

FAQ

Questions about thenumbers.

What evaluation teams want to know before a demo — answered plainly.

The calculator combines up to six transparent levers: cyber loss avoidance (a conservative reduction in a modeled expected annual cyber loss), cyber-insurance premium reduction, security-questionnaire automation, tooling consolidation, reclaimed analyst time, and reduced audit/evidence effort. Each lever uses a single, clearly-labelled illustrative multiplier — you can see and change every assumption, and levers only apply when the relevant module is selected. It is a directional model for planning conversations, not a contractual guarantee, and it never implies breach prevention.

TCO captures the full 3-year cost of running a risk and compliance program: software licenses, integration and implementation, ongoing administration, and the loaded cost of the people who operate it. Legacy GRC suites like ServiceNow GRC or RSA Archer often carry heavy implementation and integration overhead on top of license fees, which is why platform consolidation tends to move the TCO line the most.

No. Every figure on this page is an illustrative estimate based on transparent assumptions you control. Actual results depend on your current tooling, team structure, frameworks in scope, and how broadly you deploy. We are happy to build a tailored, bottom-up business case with your real numbers during a demo.

The calculator runs entirely in your browser while you model scenarios — nothing is sent until you choose to share your email for a tailored business case. If you submit it, we store your email and an anonymized snapshot of the estimate (your inputs and the computed results) so a specialist can prepare a bottom-up model. There is no obligation and we never sell your information.
