IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024
Every Hour You Wait,
the Damage Compounds
These are not projections — they are averages from IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach study. The longer a breach goes uncontained, the exponentially higher the total cost to your business.

Containment Actions Initiated
Compromised accounts suspended. Malicious processes terminated. Network segments isolated. C2 channels blocked at perimeter.
Executive Briefing (End of Hour 2)
Preliminary findings delivered to your leadership. Regulatory notification risk assessed. Next 6-hour action plan confirmed.
Incidents We Have Resolved
Anonymised summaries from real engagements. Client identities withheld under NDA.
A regional firm woke to find 340 endpoints encrypted and an £664K ransom demand. PR activated within 47 minutes, identified the initial access vector (unpatched VPN appliance), and restored operations from clean backups within 38 hours — without paying the ransom.
An attacker had been inside the network for 22 days. PR's forensics traced the full dwell period, quantified exactly 23,400 records accessed (not the 180,000 initially feared), and delivered the HIPAA breach notification report within 68 hours of activation.
A CFO received a convincing CEO wire request from a compromised email account. PR was activated within 90 minutes, identified the account compromise, contacted the receiving bank within 2 hours, and recovered £198,000 of the £220,000 transfer.
