Risk Calculator
Estimate Your Mobile Security Risk
Discover the potential financial impact of a mobile security incident in your organization.
This calculator estimates your financial risk from mobile security incidents. The values it uses are the calculator’s own assumptions, listed under “How the calculations work”. Adjust the parameters below to get a personalized estimate.
Company size affects incident costs. Larger organizations face higher regulatory fines and business interruption costs.
Each device represents potential exposure. More devices means more data potentially at risk in a breach.
According to the Verizon 2025 Mobile Security Index, 70% of mobile devices hit by an attack are personal devices, not company-issued ones.
Regulated industries (financial, healthcare) face higher breach costs and fines due to stricter compliance requirements.
In this calculator, more sensitive data increases the cost of an incident.

Your Risk Reduction Options
Security Measures
Calculator assumption: 30% lower risk. OS updates enforced with a deadline (iOS and Android), centralized control and remote wipe.
Calculator assumption: 15% lower risk, because data stays protected even if devices are lost or stolen.
Calculator assumption: 15% lower risk, through standardized security practices, access controls, and user awareness.

How the calculations work
- Incident probability: Calculator assumption: 30% annual base probability, adjusted to your parameters. For reference, according to the Verizon 2025 Mobile Security Index, 50% of organizations had a mobile or IoT security incident involving data loss.
- BYOD risk impact: Calculator assumption: risk increased by up to 50% for a 100% BYOD fleet.
- Cost per compromised record: Calculator assumption: €120, €170 or €220 per record depending on data sensitivity, weighted by sector (finance 1.5, healthcare 1.7, retail 1.2, manufacturing 1.1, other 1.0).
- Detection and response costs: Includes investigations, forensic analysis, and incident response.
- Notification costs: Mandatory notifications to affected individuals and authorities under GDPR.
- Regulatory fines: Estimated potential fines under the GDPR, which can reach up to 4% of global annual revenue (GDPR, Article 83).
- Annual risk: Total incident cost multiplied by the annual probability.
- Additional potential savings: The amount your business could save by implementing additional security measures beyond what you've selected.
- Appaloosa MDM pricing: Calculated at €3.49 per device per month.
* Calculator assumptions: MDM 30%, formalized security policies 15%, data encryption 15%, capped at 70% in total. These coefficients are estimates, not study results.
* This calculator provides an estimate based on its own assumptions. Each organization has a unique risk profile.
