Cyber security cost calculator
See how professional cyber protection compares to your potential risk costs
Every small business faces a critical decision: invest in cyber security prevention upfront, or pay much higher remediation costs after an attack happens. This interactive calculator reveals the stark financial reality facing micro and small businesses (1-50 employees) in the UK.
Based on real 2025 industry data, including IBM’s latest Cost of Data Breach Report and UK government statistics, our tool shows exactly how much a cyber attack could cost your specific business versus the investment needed for proper prevention with Swan Guard Pro.
With 43% of cyber attacks targeting small businesses and 60% of victims going out of business within 6 months, the choice between prevention and remediation isn’t just about money, it’s about survival. Most businesses discover that prevention typically costs 10-40 times less than remediation, often delivering ROI exceeding 4000%.
The calculator factors in your industry type, employee count, annual turnover, and data sensitivity to provide personalised cost projections. You’ll see detailed breakdowns of both remediation costs (emergency response, fraud losses, business disruption, legal fines) and prevention investments (Swan Guard Pro protection packages with optional email security, backup, and identity protection add-ons).
Use this calculator to build a compelling business case for cyber security investment, compare different protection strategies, and discover how Swan Guard Pro can protect your business at a fraction of the cost of dealing with attacks after they happen
