To calculate the maximum amount of loss you can afford for a cybersecurity ROI of 1, you need to first calculate your net profit margin.
Net profit margin = (Revenue - Expenses) / Revenue
Assuming a net profit margin of 10% (which is a common assumption for businesses), you would have a net profit of $4 million ($40 million * 0.10).
To achieve an ROI of 1, your losses can be no more than your net profit. Therefore, the maximum amount of loss you can afford is $4 million. Since your net profit is $4 million, the maximum amount of loss you can afford is $4 million - $40 million = $400,000.
