Methodology
How We Calculate Your Costs
Based on published AWS/CloudHSM pricing, Ponemon Institute breach cost data, and HyperSphere customer benchmarks.
Infrastructure Cost
AWS KMS per-request costs at your volume, or CloudHSM node costs ($1.45/hr) based on published pricing.
Operations Cost
Approximately one day per week (25% of salary) on day-to-day key management: role and policy creation, key rotation, and resolving issues when any of that breaks something.
Audit Cost
45% of your annual audit spend — the cost of preparing for audits, producing evidence, and remediating any findings related to key management.
Risk Exposure Value
ALE (Annual Loss Expectancy) calculation: SLE × ARO. Represents your annualized financial exposure from a key-related breach.
