Calculation Methodology

Help Desk Savings

Password reset tickets × $25/ticket × 70% reduction from SSO and self-service. Based on Gartner research showing 30-50% of help desk calls are password-related.

Provisioning Savings

Lost productivity per new hire calculated as daily salary × days waiting for access × annual new hires (turnover × headcount). Automation reduces to same-day access.

Deprovisioning Savings

Risk exposure valued at 1% of average salary per day of delayed deprovisioning × departing employees per year. Instant deprovisioning eliminates this window.

Audit Savings

Current audit hours × hourly rate × 60% reduction. Automated access certifications and continuous compliance monitoring replace manual evidence gathering.

Breach Risk Reduction

Probability-adjusted model using IBM's average $4.45M breach cost, weighted by organization size. MFA, PAM, and governance reduce credential-based breach probability by ~50%.
