Downtime cost calculator

When systems go down, the costs don't.

Payroll keeps running while revenue stops. Adjust the assumptions to estimate what one interruption could cost your organization.

This is a planning estimate, not a guarantee. Final exposure depends on business model, recovery readiness, insurance, contractual obligations, and incident scope.

Estimated exposure · single incident
$1,142,000
Idle time$280,000
Lost revenue$538,462
Recovery$60,000
Downstream$263,538

Early Warning Signs

It rarely starts with a siren.

It starts with one uncomfortable request, near miss, or recurring problem that shows your technology is reacting to problems instead of preventing them.

01

An MFA request that pops up on your phone at random, when you didn't try to log in to anything.

02

The email from "the CEO" asking accounting to wire funds before close of business.

03

A client calling to verify new banking and ACH changes that supposedly came from your finance team.

04

Your laptop gets stolen, and panic sets in over the confidential information sitting on it.

05

A cyber-insurance application denied because the required protections aren't in place.

06

The client RFP that won't move forward without SOC 2, CMMC, or ISO 27001 certification.

The LevelUp Approach

Fix the framework, not just the latest fire.

We keep security, compliance, budget, and everyday IT pointed at the same goal, so decisions get made on purpose, not in a panic.

  • 1AlignMap technology to business goals, risks, contracts, and industry requirements.
  • 2SecureClose the gaps that put revenue, data, and compliance readiness at risk first.
  • 3PlanBuild a practical roadmap and budget so major decisions are made before a crisis.
  • 4ReviewMeet on a regular cadence to verify controls and keep the plan aligned as the business changes.

Before Level Up, our IT ran in a reactive mode with costly downtime and expensive repairs. Jimmy's program put us in a proactive mode that finds and fixes problems before they impact our business. That's where we want to be.

They are professional, responsive, and attentive to our unique needs. In recent years they have identified my future IT needs before those needs were even apparent to my team.

Why LevelUp

Reliable support is the minimum. Strategy is what protects you.

Fast support matters. So does having a technology partner at the leadership table, one who understands how risk, compliance, budgets, contracts, and growth fit together.

You get responsive support and a plan for what's coming, so fewer surprises reach the business.

Common Questions

Before we talk.

Do you replace our internal IT person?
Not necessarily. LevelUp can serve as the complete outsourced IT team or complement internal staff with strategy, cybersecurity, compliance, projects, and escalation support.
Can you help with a specific audit or client questionnaire?
Yes. The first step is determining the requirement, deadline, existing evidence, and gaps. The longer-term goal is to build repeatable readiness rather than treating every request as a fire drill.
How quickly can you take over from another provider?
Timing depends on access, documentation, complexity, and urgency. A controlled transition plan should inventory systems, transfer credentials, validate backups, and address immediate risks first.
Do you support organizations outside San Jose?
Yes. LevelUp is based in San Jose and supports clients nationwide, delivering remote support everywhere and coordinating onsite response for your location.
