1. How big is your data footprint?
2. What’s your current security posture?
3. Roughly what would you invest in compliance annually?
How compliance pays back
Compliance is risk math
ROI compares what you invest against the expected loss you avoid — breach cost multiplied by how likely a breach is. When avoided loss exceeds the spend, compliance pays for itself.
Certification lowers likelihood
A mature, certified programme (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS) measurably reduces both the odds of a breach and its cost — that reduction is the return.
A number your board understands
Framing security as a protected-rupees-per-rupee-spent figure turns a cost centre into a defensible investment — and speeds up budget approval.
