Estimated cost (CAD): $118,080 – $177,120 CAD
Central estimate: $147,600 CAD
Downtime — $60,000 CAD
IR/Forensics — $24,000 CAD
Legal/Notif. — $36,000 CAD
Ransom — $9,600 CAD
Recovery/IT — $18,000 CAD

    Top moves to reduce cost:

  • Rehearse an incident with IT/tech to shrink downtime.
  • Prepare a no-ransom posture: backups + tested restores to avoid payment.
  • Run a practice cyber incident drill with leadership, legal, and communications.
