The True Cost of a Hacked Website
When business owners see the price of a maintenance retainer, they often think, "Can't I just fix it if something goes wrong?" The reality is that the cost of a security breach far exceeds the cost of prevention.
Financial Costs
- Ransomware payments (average $170,000)
- Forensic investigation ($200/hour)
- Legal fees and fines (GDPR, CCPA)
- Lost revenue during downtime
Reputational Damage
60% of small businesses close within 6 months of a cyber attack. Customers lose trust, and rebuilding that trust takes years.
Prevention is Affordable
Our proactive maintenance package includes daily backups, security patching, and 24/7 monitoring—all for less than the cost of one hour of incident response.
