How these numbers are calculated

Savings are built bottom-up from your inputs and the benchmark constants below, then scaled by a maturity factor that reflects how much value is still on the table. Nothing here is a headline percentage applied to revenue.

Figures reflect independent benchmarks for identity governance programs (Forrester Total Economic Impact studies, IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025, and Gartner). They are directional, not a guarantee of results for any specific organization. Indian breach and labor figures use India-appropriate cost bases rather than direct currency conversion. Defaults are calibrated so a 10,000-employee organization reproduces the impact figures published on the Astranova Labs homepage.
