Calculating ROI from Threat Monitoring — A CFO’s Perspective

Learn how to measure the ROI of threat monitoring, minimize cyber risk exposure, and turn security investments into business value. 

For CFOs and business leaders, cybersecurity often feels like a cost center. But that perception changes when you view threat monitoring through the lens of risk reduction, compliance efficiency, and brand protection. 

Understanding Cyber ROI 

Cyber ROI isn’t just about preventing breaches. It’s about the savings from avoided downtime, reduced remediation costs, and compliance assurance. 

Formula: ROI = (Risk Avoided + Cost Saved + Value Protected) / Investment 

How Threat Monitoring Adds Measurable Value 

1. Reduced Downtime Costs: Every minute of downtime avoided adds back revenue. 

2. Faster Detection and Response: Cuts incident remediation costs by up to 50%. 

3. Compliance Simplification: Avoids penalties and audit overruns. 

4. Operational Confidence: Strengthens investor and partner trust. 

Real-World Example 

A financial services client reduced mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) from 4 hours to 10 minutes after implementing ONESECURE's SOC services, saving over USD 100,000 annually in downtime and recovery.
