Preguntas Frecuentes
How do I estimate avoided fines?
Multiply the probability of a regulatory breach by the likely fine, plus indirect costs such as investigation, litigation and remediation.
Reputation value is subjective — how should I set it?
Use a conservative estimate — e.g. 1–5% of annual revenue at risk during a highly publicised incident — or align it with existing brand-value methodologies (Interbrand, Brand Finance).
