Methodology & Sources

Breach cost estimates based on the IBM Security / Ponemon Institute Cost of a Data Breach Report. Per-record costs by industry: Healthcare $429 · Financial $231 · Retail $164 · Government $202 · ISV/Other $180. HIPAA fine exposure based on HHS Office for Civil Rights maximum of $1.9M/year per violation category. PCI DSS fines ($5K–$100K/month) and GDPR (up to €20M or 4% global revenue) used for applicable industries. SQL Server upgrade costs based on Microsoft list pricing (~$3,586/core Standard, ~$7,128/core Enterprise, 4-core minimum). Annual breach probability: ~10.5%/year for organizations without at-rest encryption (Verizon DBIR); adjusted by current encryption status. Encryptionizer TCO estimates based on published NetLib Security pricing. Application rewrite baseline: $150K–$500K depending on server count and complexity.
