# Breach cost vs continuous testing

Security spend is easy to question until you weigh it against what a breach actually costs. This calculator models your expected annual breach exposure against the cost of continuous penetration testing. The breach figures start from the IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025 averages, and every assumption is yours to change.

Region for the breach cost baseline

Global average

United States average

IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025: global 4.44M, United States 10.22M US dollars.

Estimated cost of a breach to you (US dollars)

Prefilled from the region baseline. Change it to your own estimate.

Annual breach likelihood without continuous testing

20%

Your estimate of the chance of a breach in a year as you operate today.

Annual breach likelihood with continuous testing

8%

Your estimate of the reduced chance once exposure is found and fixed continuously.

Annual continuous testing budget (US dollars)

What you would spend on continuous testing in a year.

Expected annual loss, no continuous testing

$0

Expected annual loss, with testing included

$0

Expected annual benefit

$0

This model uses only the assumptions you enter. Expected loss is the breach cost multiplied by the likelihood you set. The breach cost defaults are the IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025 global and United States averages. It is an educational estimate, not a guarantee of outcomes.

Continuous coverage starts free with one full scan and scales by the surface you cover, not per engagement. Compare that against the expected loss above.
