DSPM Scan-Cost Architect
Model the infrastructure cost gap between a full-estate re-scan and an event-driven delta-scan architecture for your environment. Adjust the variables to match your estate and see where the breaking point sits.
Total data volume
5 PB
Total sensitive-eligible data across the estate, in petabytes.
Daily change rate
3%
Estimated percentage of total volume created or modified per day.
Cloud accounts in scope
12
More accounts generally means more API call overhead per scan cycle.
Cross-region and cross-cloud reads typically add egress charges that same-region reads avoid.
Scan frequency
How often the platform re-evaluates the estate for posture changes.
Full re-scan / month

Delta scan / month

Estimated monthly savings from delta-scanning

Figures are illustrative, built on representative public cloud read and egress pricing, and intended to show the relative shape of the cost gap, not a quote. Actual costs depend on your specific cloud provider, storage class, region pairing, and DSPM vendor's scanning architecture. Model your own numbers using your cloud provider's pricing pages before budgeting. See the delta-scanning architecture guide for the engineering pattern behind this model.
