summary
Provides two practical worksheets: a productivity/case-deflection ROI sheet that converts help‑desk time and provisioning labor into dollars and a risk & recovery worksheet with four sections (infrastructure, service delivery, support impact, incident response) that models incident costs and recovery. Uses open tools like Security Onion and Mandiant/Redline, cites Adrian Sanabria’s incident calculator, and flags data points such as 99.7% of U.S. businesses having <500 employees and examples where <300‑employee firms fail after ransomware.
