Pentest ROI Calculator

Quantify what a continuous program is worth

Compares your current quarterly pentest cadence — cost, throughput and breach-likelihood deltas — against a continuous adversarial assurance program. Outputs a CFO-ready three-year cost and risk model you can drop straight into a budget conversation.

What we model

Direct pentest cost · internal hours managing engagements · remediation cycle time · breach likelihood delta benchmarked against IBM Cost of a Data Breach.

Editable assumptions

Every assumption in the spreadsheet is exposed and editable so your finance team can pressure-test the model without our help.

When to use

Best used when you are framing a budget request or comparing renewal options. Output is intentionally CFO-shaped — not a security narrative.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do the numbers come from?
Industry benchmarks (IBM, Verizon DBIR, public CISO surveys) plus KeenSafe customer telemetry. Sources are footnoted in the spreadsheet.
Is this just KeenSafe vs. doing nothing?
No. The "current" column reflects a typical quarterly-pentest program. You can also model "do nothing" by zeroing the current spend column.
Is the spreadsheet locked?
No. You receive a fully editable .xlsx — no macros, no DRM.
