ROI Calculation Assumptions

FTE Time Savings: 60-80% reduction in manual audit and compliance work through automation
Incident Reduction: 40% reduction in security incidents through continuous monitoring and automated remediation
Detection Speed: 95% reduction in mean time to detect (MTTD) from days to minutes
Remediation Speed: 85% reduction in mean time to remediate (MTTR) through automation
Implementation Cost: $150K-$250K for initial setup (Phase 1 & 2)
Annual Operating Cost: $80K-$120K for maintenance, licensing, and operations

Cost Avoidance: What You're Not Calculating

Regulatory Penalties Avoided

GDPR/NIS2 Fines (avg) €10-20M
DORA Non-Compliance €5-10M
DoD Contract Loss (CMMC) $600B+ market

Breach Cost Avoidance

Average Data Breach Cost $4.45M
Ransomware Incident (avg) $1.85M
Supply Chain Attack $3.2M+

Conservative ROI calculations exclude these catastrophic but low-probability events. A single prevented breach or regulatory penalty can justify CAGE investment for years.
