Overview
This article explains how to review and update breach impact estimates by individual business asset in Hyver's Cost of Breach. This breakdown helps you understand which parts of your organization carry the most financial risk — and how those values are reflected in the Business Assets page and Risk Dashboard.
Viewing the Breakdown
In the Breakdown by Business Assets tab, Hyver displays:
A row for each default business asset
The estimated Cost of Breach for each asset, shown as either a dollar value or a range
This breakdown helps you trace your total breach risk back to the most vulnerable areas of the business.
Default assets shown include:
Business Continuity
Intellectual Property
Reputation
Employee Information
Customer Information
Note: These assets are always included in CoB calculations — even if you haven’t explicitly defined them in your Business Assets page.
Updating Business Asset Values
If you want Hyver’s calculated breach cost to become the official value for an asset in the platform:
Click the Update button next to the asset:
Confirm by selecting Yes:
The tag Automatically updated will appear next to the asset, confirming that the value has been synced with:
The Business Assets page
The Risk Dashboard
This ensures consistency across views and aligns your asset-level risk display with the latest CoB calculation.
Asset Not Defined? What That Means
If Hyver detects that some default business assets haven’t been explicitly defined in your system:
You’ll see a note:
“Your ecosystem has other business assets that have not yet been defined…”These assets are still included in the overall Cost of Breach calculation
However, they won’t appear as named entries on the Business Assets page or dashboard views
This can lead to a mismatch:
The Total CoB shown at the top of the calculator may be greater than the sum of the asset rows listed
This is expected if undefined default assets are still contributing behind the scenes
Custom Business Assets
Hyver does not calculate CoB for custom-defined assets
These appear with a special icon and are excluded from the financial risk breakdown
Important notes
If you want a business asset to appear in all CoB views, define it explicitly in the Business Assets section
To maintain alignment, use the Update function after recalculating CoB values
Wrap-up / Next Steps
This breakdown isn’t just for viewing — it’s where you align the math with your strategy. Keep your business asset definitions current and use the Update button to ensure the Risk Dashboard reflects what really matters to your organization.
