London – 29th September 2009 – Comsec Consulting, a European market leader in information security consulting services, today announced the availability of a specially designed Security Cost Analysis Tool (S.C.A. Tool), to assist in the identification and assessment of the value of security controls and countermeasure investments.

Stuart Okin, Managing Director, Comsec Consulting UK, said, “In the process of developing our S.C.A. Tool, we’ve been surprised by the number of companies who simply have no idea of their security spend.  With such scrutiny surrounding every area of an enterprise’s operation, defining this cost and of course the associated value is vital. Our research has revealed that security leaders estimate that they could be spending between 0.01% to a staggering 6% of revenue on security, when considering information and physical security, as well as fraud detection, prevention and investigation.”

According to CyberSource, this is a partial, complex, and costly approach that still leaves merchants with vulnerable data on their systems.
