The Model
Cost of security, seen end-to-end.
Most teams know their headcount cost. Few know their total security cost — headcount plus tooling sprawl, incident tax, compliance drag, and board-reporting burden. The vTC Calculator puts all of it on one page.
Inputs
- Security team cost (FTE, contractors, tooling)
- Expected incident frequency + average loss
- Compliance and audit overhead
- Board reporting + directors-and-officers exposure
Outputs
- All-in annual cost of your current security posture
- Gap vs. benchmark for your stage and sector
- Scenario modeling: fractional CSO vs. full-time hire vs. MSSP
- Board-ready cost-of-security narrative
