# Financial Risk Modeler

The Financial Risk Modeler lets you assess the true cost of data privacy for your existing data or for a simulated scenario. The modeler is based on the "Cost of a Data Breach" by Ponemon Institute and the Information Risk Insights Study (IRIS 20/20), by Cyentia Institute.

You can personalize the modeler to show the potential risk to your total data based on your data that has been processed and analyzed by OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights or to show the potential risk based on simulated data.

To personalize the financial risk modeler

Use following personalization methods individually or in combination.

- In the Organization Data section click the section expansion icon ().

  Type the appropriate values or use the sliders to adjust the values to represent the data for your organization.

  Click CALCULATE. The financial risk calculation chart updates to reflect the changes. The percentages showing your estimated total sensitive data update to reflect your organization data changes.

- To view potential risk scenarios based on simulated data, click SIMULATED DATA.

  Type the desired values or use the sliders to adjust the values to represent the sensitive data for your organization.

  Click CALCULATE. The financial risk calculation chart updates to reflect the simulated sensitive data.

When viewing the modeler based on your analyzed data, you see the estimated percentage of your total data that would fall into one of the tag reporting group types (). This estimation is based on the amount of data analyzed by ("Analyzed Structured Data" and "Analyzed Unstructured Data") compared to your total amount of data in your environment ("Organization Data"). Hover over the value on a spark chart to see the estimated margin of error — the more data that is analyzed, the smaller the potential margin of error. "Non-sensitive Data" represents data not associated with a tag reporting group.

NOTE: If a single piece of data is associated with multiple reporting groups and types, the data is counted only once. The precedence is Personal Data, Other Sensitive Data, then Intellectual Property. For example, if a document is in two reporting groups, where one group is Intellectual Property type and one is Other Sensitive Data type, the document is only counted in Other Sensitive Data.

To view the tag reporting groups assigned to each reporting group type, click the reporting group icon () in the ANALYZED DATA | SIMULATED DATA section.
