The honest answer to the ROI question.

Boards asked us this question directly, so this page answers it the way the product would: evidence first. Three answers, in order of how hard the evidence is: what the same evidence costs any other way, the exposure the board prices for itself, and where this spend belongs.

What the same evidence costs any other way.

List comparisons against the buyer's own alternatives, not a promise of cash saved. The fee is given in the briefing, where the comparison is made against your own numbers.

Board Assurance spread across twelve months could cost less than a 25-year-old on the National Minimum Wage working a 35-hour week.

The cost that is already being paid.

Today

The cyber insurance questionnaire is answered from memory and screenshots. Audit and regulatory requests pull the FD, IT lead and compliance team off other work. The board pack reports configuration second hand, after the event.

With Board Assurance

The same evidence is produced on a cycle as a by-product of the assessment. Questionnaires, audits and board packs are answered from one current source. A fixed line for evidence that already reconciles.

The exposure the board prices for itself.

InquilionGRC makes the exposure visible. It does not promise the number.

These are the board's figures, not InquilionGRC's claim.

Do the arithmetic yourself.

1

Count the internal time your last cyber renewal or audit actually consumed.

2

Recall what your last external IT or security assessment cost.

3

Consider what a contested claim, a failed audit or a governance retrade at exit would cost.

Your three answers are the ROI case. The briefing puts the fee against them.

Where this spend belongs.

Boards fund external audit and directors' insurance without an ROI spreadsheet, because each discharges a duty and prices a known exposure.

External audit

Annual. Board funded. Confirms the accounts can be relied upon.

Directors' insurance

Annual. Board funded. Prices the exposure the board carries.

InquilionGRC Board Assurance

Annual. Board funded. Evidences control of the platform that runs the business.

What this page
does not claim.

No prevention guarantee.

Independent assurance does not guarantee prevention. It ensures the right questions are asked before a breach forces them.

No breach arithmetic.

We will not multiply a breach probability by an average cost and call it your saving. Neither number would be yours.

No premium promises.

Insurers set premiums. Evidence strengthens the renewal conversation. Nobody can honestly promise you a discount, so we do not.

No invented figures.

Comparator costs are market ranges you can check. Savings depend on which alternative you would otherwise buy, so we state none. The fee is given in the briefing, not inferred from a table.

Start with a Board Review.

The cheapest way to find out where you stand. The briefing scopes it against your tenant and your renewal, audit and diligence calendar.
