INDICATIVE ONLY — Cyber insurance limit recommendations are mathematical approximations based on simplified exposure modelling. Per-record costs use industry averages and will vary significantly. GDPR fine estimates are maximums — actual fines depend on regulatory discretion. This tool is for orientation only. Engage a specialist cyber insurance broker for a full risk and limit adequacy assessment.
