How much is unmanaged drift costing your organization? Quantify engineering waste, remediation risk, and downtime exposure with a model grounded in industry benchmarks.
Every default, weight, and benchmark is cited to its source. Adjust any assumption to match your environment.
Enter your current operational metrics.
Parse configuration reports from raw CLI output logs. Paste parameters below to auto-fill the sliders.
Stabilization (our flat-rate $2,500 service) enforces automation configurations and reduces drift to baseline levels. This calculation uses the Ganz Industrial IT Configuration Audit standard to project optimized environment savings.
Industry avg: 12.3 hrs/wk
NIST: continuous monitoring
50% remediate in 24h, 13% never
CIS: patch within 48h
Costs rising 20% YoY
Per-server costs scale non-linearly
01Increase infrastructure-as-code coverage
CIS Control 5.2 / NIST CM-2Low automation coverage means drift accumulates unchecked. Organizations using IaC remediate drift 3x faster (Firefly).
02Schedule regular restore tests
CIS Control 11.2 / NIST CP-9Extended periods without restore testing increase recovery risk. NIST recommends continuous validation of backup integrity.
03Investigate outage root causes
CIS Control 18.1 / NIST CP-10Recurring outages suggest systemic issues. Each hour of downtime costs your industry an estimated thousands (Ponemon/Atlassian).
The drift score uses a weighted multi-factor model where six operational factors each produce a 0-100 raw score, multiplied by their respective weight. Weights are derived from NIST RMF, CIS Controls, and operational research. Cost model combines direct engineering waste, drift remediation cost, and infrastructure inefficiency (30% avg cloud waste per Flexera 2024).
Enter your details to generate a structured drift assessment report. This action saves the calculations to your Ganz account and schedules a technical review scoping call.
