Overview
This article explains how to review your organization’s Cost of Breach V2 (CoB v2) results in Hyver. You'll learn where to view your breach cost range, how to explore asset-level and expense-type breakdowns, and how maturity scores factor into the calculation. This helps you validate your inputs, track financial risk, and compare your CoB with industry benchmarks.
Understanding the Cost of Breach Estimate
Hyver’s CoB calculator provides a range of monetary values:
Minimum (best case): Estimated financial impact in a contained breach
Maximum (worst case): Impact in a broader, more severe breach
This range is based on your business profile, maturity scores, and real-world breach data. The more complete your inputs, the more accurate and narrow the range will be.
Where to View the Results
You can view the Cost of Breach estimate and its breakdowns in several places:
Risk Dashboard
The top of the Risk Dashboard shows your overall CoB range:
If required inputs are missing, N/A will appear instead
Use this view to compare your estimated CoB to industry peers with similar profiles

Breakdown by Business Assets
Shows how breach costs are distributed across default assets like:
Business continuity
Reputation
Intellectual property
Customer/Employee information
Helps prioritize which assets represent the highest financial exposure
Access this via the Breakdown by Business Assets tab:
Breakdown by First & Third Party
Organizes breach costs into two groups:
Company losses (first-party): Internal operational impact
Third-party payments: Regulatory fines, legal costs, customer compensation
Click the Breakdown by First & Third Party tab to view detailed rows per expense type:
Reviewing Maturity-Linked Impact
CoB v2 shows which NIST CSF subcategories directly influence your cost estimate
Use the Maturity Factors tab to review these filtered subcategories
Subcategories with low or missing scores can significantly inflate your CoB estimate
Click Update Cost of Breach at any time to revise your inputs or maturity scores.
Important notes
Only default business assets are included in CoB — custom assets are excluded
Missing inputs (e.g., number of customers) may cause No impact to appear for related assets
To ensure accurate comparisons, always keep your business profile and maturity data up to date
Wrap-up / Next Steps
Your breach cost estimate is more than a number — it’s a map of where you're vulnerable and why. Use the breakdown views to identify high-risk areas, and track how improvements in maturity reduce your financial exposure over time.
