ROI Calculator
Calculate what security reviews are costing you - and what you get back.
Estimate time and labor cost savings based on your current review workload. Aurora reduces repetitive work by turning questionnaires and evidence into exportable proof packs you can reuse.
This is an estimate using your inputs. Results vary based on integration coverage and review complexity. See methodology.
Inputs
Include evidence gathering, questionnaire completion, internal reviews, and reviewer back-and-forth.

Where the savings come from
Aurora doesn’t magically do compliance. It removes the repetitive steps that make reviews expensive.
Evidence scavenger hunt
Typical allocation: 25 to 35 percent
Replace screenshot hunts with timestamped evidence objects and scheduled snapshots.
Questionnaire drafting and rewrites
Typical allocation: 20 to 30 percent
Reuse a canonical answer library with citations instead of rewriting per deal.
Internal coordination
Typical allocation: 15 to 25 percent
Owners, approvals, and change history are captured in-platform so decisions aren’t re-litigated.
Reviewer back-and-forth
Typical allocation: 10 to 20 percent
Export structured packets so reviewers can verify without email chains.

How the estimate works
This calculator is designed to be honest and adjustable. Use it to start a budget conversation, then validate with your real workflow.
Formula
Monthly hours saved equals hours per review multiplied by reviews per month, multiplied by reduction percent. Labor cost saved equals saved hours multiplied by your blended hourly rate.
What is excluded
Estimates exclude audit firm fees, procurement negotiation time, and deal velocity upside. The goal is a defensible baseline based on inputs you control.
