How much do businesses allocate for cybersecurity?

Depending on service scope, business size, number of devices, IT infrastructure complexity, and compliance requirements, businesses allocate 5-20% of their IT budget to cybersecurity. 

Here’s an approximate breakdown according to business size: 

  • Small businesses (less than 100 employees) allocate 5-10% of their IT budget for cybersecurity, as they typically cover fewer systems and users. 
  • Medium-sized companies (100-1,000 employees) invest 8-15% of their tech budget, as they may need more comprehensive endpoint and cloud security services. 
  • Large enterprises (1,000+ employees) dedicate 10-20% of their technological budget, often requiring 24/7 security operations, full compliance and support audits, and more complex security solutions. 

How often should businesses audit their cybersecurity?

Approximately 23% of security breaches stem from IT failure, and 26% are caused by human error — both of which are preventable with regular security audits. 

Here’s how often you should conduct cybersecurity audits according to best practices: 

  • Annual audits for comprehensive audits of your entire system, including your policies, frameworks, network, and recovery plan.  
  • Biannually and quarterly to achieve regulatory compliance (e.g., PCI DSS and HIPAA), protect highly sensitive data, and manage complex infrastructures. A common practice is to conduct monthly vulnerability assessments and quarterly penetration testing. 
  • Immediately after a reported incident or a change in your infrastructure (e.g., implementing a new enterprise resource planning system).  

What US industries benefit from cybersecurity services?

While all industries benefit from working with top cybersecurity companies, research shows that certain sectors experience more threats than others. Here are the sectors with the most damaging breaches and the share of breaches exceeding $1 million: 

  • Healthcare: 47% 
  • Tech, Media, and Telecom: 43% 
  • Financial: 38% 
  • Energy, Utilities, and Resources: 37% 
  • Industrial and Auto: 33% 
  • Retail and Customer: 28%
