What Would a Data Breach Cost Your App?
60% of vibe-coded apps fail basic security tests. Calculate your actual breach risk in 60 seconds. Based on IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024.
How We Calculate This
Our model uses IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024 as the baseline ($165/record average). We adjust for:
- App type: Fintech and healthcare breaches cost 2-2.5x the average (regulated data, higher fines).
- Data sensitivity: Financial data breaches cost 3x email-only breaches.
- Security posture: Missing auth, database controls, or pinned dependencies increases exposure 20-50%.
- Lost revenue: Based on Verizon DBIR churn data (2-4 months revenue loss depending on breach severity).
- Notification costs: Scaled by user count (mandatory in GDPR, CCPA, and 50 US states).
Note: These are conservative estimates. IBM's global average is $4.88M per breach. Small app breaches cost less in absolute terms but often more relative to revenue.
Common Questions
How much does a data breach actually cost a small app?
IBM's 2024 report puts the average at $4.88M globally, but small app breaches typically cost $10K-$100K in direct costs (forensics, notification, legal). The real damage is often lost users and reputation. 60% of small businesses that suffer a breach close within 6 months.
Are vibe-coded apps more vulnerable than traditional apps?
Yes. Escape.tech tested 5,600 AI-generated apps and found 60% fail basic security tests. ShipSafe scanned 100 AI repos and found 67% have critical vulnerabilities and 45% contain hardcoded secrets. AI optimizes for "works," not "secure."
What does a $99 security audit cover?
Our audit checks 50+ vulnerability categories specific to vibe-coded apps: authentication gaps, missing RLS, hardcoded secrets, supply chain risks, security headers, input validation, API security, and more. You get a detailed report with AI-ready fix prompts you can paste directly into your coding tool.
How does $99 compare to traditional security audits?
Traditional penetration testing costs $5,000-$25,000 (NetSpi, Lorikeet, Varyence). Geminate Solutions charges $2,000-$5,000 for AI code audits. Our $99 Pro tier covers the most common vibe-coded vulnerabilities at a fraction of the cost because we specialize in AI-generated code patterns.
Prevention costs less than recovery. Every time.
