Security is asking for two more headcount and a bigger tooling budget.
The CFO asks: what does that spend actually prevent? Nobody has a number. A wall of CVEs and a stack of CVSS scores is not an answer a board can approve. Without a loss estimate, security lives on a hunch — and hunches lose budget fights every year.
The risk of not knowing
If it is not surfaced today, it is exposed today. Attackers do not wait for your quarterly review — and neither do auditors.
The mechanism, not the marketing
- 1
Each critical and high finding is modelled FAIR-style: how likely a loss event is, times how large the loss would be.
- 2
Likelihood starts from the exploit probability (EPSS) and how exposed the resource is — a public resource counts for more than an internal one.
- 3
Loss size starts from the records at risk times a per-record breach cost for your industry, then a multiplier for how sensitive the data is, and a multiplier for how valuable the asset is, with crown jewels highest.
- 4
Where the data falls under a regulation — GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, CCPA and others — the single strictest regulatory multiplier is applied (they never stack) and an estimated fine is added.
- 5
Attack-path context raises the estimate: a finding on an attack path, on a choke point, on many paths, or on a resource an active threat actor is touching gets a higher likelihood, and a large blast radius raises it further.
- 6
The result is a low, likely and high dollar figure per finding, rolled up into total exposure, the top scenarios, a breakdown by engine and a trend over time.
