~$20K a year. $670K of avoidable surprise.

Northbeams is the line item that takes Shadow AI off your risk register. The math is in IBM and Cyberhaven's research. We turned it into an annual subscription that fits in petty cash, with the Compliance Evidence Pack bundled in (previously $12K-$72K standalone).

IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2024 · Cyberhaven Q1 2025 · Microsoft Work Trend Index 2024

01 / The math

The numbers your IT lead is too polite to bring up.

Shadow AI breaches cost $670,000 more than equivalent breaches without it (IBM 2024). Add $160 per leaked record on top.

Shadow data breaches take 26.2% longer to identify and contain than the average breach (IBM 2024). 60% of organizations have already had an AI data leak (Cyberhaven Q1 2025).

You don't need a security team to do this math. The formula fits on a napkin.

E = (R × $160) + $670,000

Northbeams cuts your detection window to under 24 hours, and the $670K premium to zero.

02 / A worked example

A 60-person team. Same numbers everyone has.

Northbeams cost

$20K/ year

Sentinel, 60 active users, annual billing. $9,600 platform fee + $12 / user / month. Drops to ~$16K with 3-year prepay. Compliance Evidence Pack included.

Worst-case exposure

$1.47M

5,000 records exposed per year (a conservative midpoint), times $160 plus the $670K premium.

At 60% incident probability

$882K

Cyberhaven Q1 2025 industry baseline for the share of orgs that have already had an AI data leak.

That's 48× more expensive to do nothing than to subscribe to Sentinel for a full year (and 55× on 3-year prepay).

03 / How procurement reads our pricing

Plain pricing. Published. No add-ons, no starter contract.

One price, four surfaces

Browser, desktop, CLI, and MCP for one per-user price. No modular add-on SKU for each coverage area you switch on.

Metadata-only by design

AI usage governance, not employee surveillance. No keystrokes, no screen captures, no prompt content, no MCP argument values.

No floor to get in

No seat minimum and no starter contract. The MCP Gateway ships from team size 1, 50K MCP calls/mo included, and the Compliance Evidence Pack is bundled.

Every price on this page is the real price. No paywall, no "contact sales" to find out.
