Estimate entered notification, monitoring, professional review, remediation, and other data breach response cost assumptions.
Formula
const affected = Math.max(0, Math.floor(Number(inputs.affectedIndividuals || 0))); const notificationPerPerson = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.notificationCostPerPerson || 0)); const monitoringPerPerson = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.monitoringCostPerPerson || 0)); const reviewHours = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.professionalReviewHours || 0)); const hourlyRate = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.professionalHourlyRate || 0)); const otherEnteredResponseCosts = Math.max(0, Math.round(Number(inputs.otherResponseCosts || 0) * 100) / 100); const notificationCostScenario = Math.round((affected * notificationPerPerson) * 100) / 100; const monitoringCostScenario = Math.round((affected * monitoringPerPerson) * 100) / 100; const professionalReviewCostScenario = Math.round((reviewHours * hourlyRate) * 100) / 100; const totalResponseCostScenario = Math.round((notificationCostScenario + monitoringCostScenario + professionalReviewCostScenario + otherEnteredResponseCosts) * 100) / 100; return { notificationCostScenario, monitoringCostScenario, professionalReviewCostScenario, otherEnteredResponseCosts, totalResponseCostScenario };Affected Individuals in Scenario

With the default inputs, 1,500 affected individuals at $3.50 of entered notification cost per person produce $5,250 in notification cost. An entered monitoring cost of $150 per person produces $225,000, while 20 professional review hours at $350 add $7,000. With no other entered costs, the total response cost scenario is $237,250.
