Risk Assessment Calculators

Risk work is about putting a price on things going wrong before they do — a breached system, an interrupted operation, a portfolio loss in a bad week. These calculators give those scenarios a number, so they can be ranked and budgeted rather than argued about in general terms.

Incident costs come first: the Data Breach Cost Calculator, the Cost Per Incident Calculator and the Cost Of Interruption Calculator, with the SLE Calculator for single-loss expectancy. Together they turn a security or operations incident into a figure a budget can respond to.

Financial risk follows: the Expected Shortfall Calculator and the Marginal VAR Calculator for portfolio tail risk, the Certainty Equivalent Coefficient Calculator for valuing an uncertain outcome, and the Ead Calculator for exposure at default. The section mixes operational and financial risk, so the right tool depends on which kind of loss is being priced.
