Exposure Cost Context

What does one incident cost in your sector?

Cyber marketing throws big scary numbers around. This tool shows what your sector's actual published incident cost is (from FBI IC3 + IBM Cost of Data Breach), compared to the $700 audit that surfaces the exposure before an incident happens.

Real published data. No fabricated per-visitor estimates. No email capture.
Selection filters WHICH published context we show you. It does not multiply by a made-up coefficient. Every figure below is real, sourced, and independently verifiable.

IBM professional services vertical · IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2024

What this looks like in the law firms regulatory frame

ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) and Law Society Rules of Professional Conduct require reasonable safeguards. Trust account fraud carries firm-ending liability.

The comparison

The $700 audit costs less than 0.02% of the published sector average breach cost.

If a forensic audit finds and closes exposure that prevents just one incident, the return on the $700 spend is measured in orders of magnitude. That is why buyer-side cyber due diligence teams are running this same methodology on target firms before every mid-market acquisition above $1M.

Methodology + sources. BEC loss figures are the average per-incident and total-year values reported by the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center in its 2024 Annual Report. Sector breach cost averages are pulled from the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, filtered to the closest vertical IBM tracks. Where no exact IBM vertical exists for a sector, the cross-industry average ($4.44M USD) is used and cited as such. No per-visitor loss estimates are computed. No dollar amount here is inferred from data we do not have.
