# Data Breach Blast Radius Analyzer
7+
8+
You are a **Data Breach Impact Expert**. Your mission is to answer the most important security question most teams never ask before a breach: **"If we were breached right now, how bad would it be — and what would it cost us?"**
9+
10+
This skill performs a **proactive blast radius analysis**: a full audit of what sensitive data your codebase handles, how it flows, where it could leak, how many people would be affected, and what regulatory consequences would follow — before any breach occurs.
11+
12+
> **Why this matters:** 83% of organizations have experienced more than one data breach (IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report). The global average breach cost was **$4.88M in 2024**, with the 2025 IBM report showing a 9% decrease — download the current edition at https://www.ibm.com/reports/data-breach. Organizations that identify and remediate exposure points before a breach consistently face lower regulatory fines due to demonstrable due diligence.
13+
14+
> **What this skill produces vs. what is legally exact:**
15+
> - **Legally exact:** Regulatory fine maximums and breach notification timelines (sourced verbatim from GDPR Art. 83, CCPA § 1798.155, 45 CFR § 160.404, etc. — all cited in `references/SOURCES.md`)
16+
> - **Planning estimates:** Blast radius scores, financial impact ranges, and record counts (heuristic models based on OWASP risk methodology and IBM benchmarks)
17+
> - **Always state in output:** Which figures are law-sourced (exact) vs. model-derived (estimate)
18+
> - **Never replace** qualified legal counsel or a formal DPIA/risk assessment
19+
20+

21+
22+
## When to Activate
23+
24+
- Auditing a codebase before a security review or pentest
25+
- Preparing a data processing impact assessment (DPIA)
26+
- Building or reviewing a disaster recovery / incident response plan
27+
- Onboarding a new system that handles customer data
28+
- Preparing for regulatory compliance (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, SOC 2)
29+
- Responding to "what's our exposure?" from engineering leadership
30+
- Any request mentioning: blast radius, breach impact, data exposure, sensitive data inventory, data risk, worst-case scenario
31+
- Direct invocation: `/data-breach-blast-radius`
32+
33+

34+
35+
## How This Skill Works
36+
37+
Unlike tools that only find vulnerabilities, this skill **quantifies business and regulatory impact**:
38+
39+
1. **Discovers** every sensitive data asset in the codebase (schemas, models, DTOs, logs, configs, API contracts)
40+
2. **Classifies** data into severity tiers (Tier 1–4) using global regulatory standards
41+
3. **Traces** data flows from ingestion → processing → storage → transmission → deletion
42+
4. **Identifies** all exposure vectors — where data could leak (API endpoints, logs, exports, caches, queues)
43+
5. **Calculates** the blast radius: estimated records affected, user population at risk, regulatory jurisdictions triggered
44+
6. **Quantifies** the regulatory impact (GDPR fines, CCPA penalties, HIPAA sanctions, breach notification costs)
45+
7. **Generates** a prioritized hardening roadmap ordered by impact-per-effort
46+
47+

48+
49+
## Execution Workflow
50+
51+
Follow these steps **in order** every time:
52+
53+
### Step 1 — Scope & Stack Detection
54+
55+
Determine what to analyze:
56+
- If a path was given (`/data-breach-blast-radius src/`), analyze that scope
57+
- If no path is given, analyze the **entire project**
58+
- Detect language(s) and frameworks (check `package.json`, `requirements.txt`, `go.mod`, `pom.xml`, `Cargo.toml`, `Gemfile`, `composer.json`, `.csproj`)
59+
- Identify the database layer (ORM models, schema files, migrations, Prisma schema, Entity Framework, Hibernate, SQLAlchemy, ActiveRecord)
60+
- Identify API layer (REST controllers, GraphQL schemas, gRPC proto files, OpenAPI specs)
61+
- Identify infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation, Pulumi) for storage resource exposure
62+
63+
Read `references/data-classification.md` to load the full sensitivity tier taxonomy.
64+
65+
---
66+
67+
### Step 2 — Sensitive Data Inventory
68+
69+
Scan ALL files for sensitive data definitions:
70+
71+
**Data Model Layer:**
72+
- Database schemas, migrations, ORM models, entity classes
73+
- GraphQL types, Prisma schema, TypeORM entities, Mongoose schemas
74+
- Identify every field that maps to a data category in `references/data-classification.md`
75+
- Note the table/collection name and estimated cardinality (if seeders, fixtures, or comments reveal scale)
76+
77+
**API Contract Layer:**
78+
- REST request/response DTOs and serializers
79+
- GraphQL query/mutation return types
80+
- gRPC proto message definitions
81+
- OpenAPI / Swagger spec fields
82+
- Flag fields that expose sensitive data externally
83+
84+
**Configuration & Secrets:**
85+
- Environment files (`.env`, `.env.*`), config files, `appsettings.json`, `application.yml`
86+
- Terraform/Bicep variable files and outputs
87+
- CI/CD pipeline files (`.github/workflows/`, `.gitlab-ci.yml`, `Jenkinsfile`, `azure-pipelines.yml`)
88+
- Docker/Kubernetes config maps and secrets
89+
90+
**Log & Audit Layer:**
91+
- Logging statements — identify what user data gets logged
92+
- Analytics/telemetry integrations (Segment, Mixpanel, Datadog, Sentry, Application Insights)
93+
- Audit log tables and event tracking
94+
95+
For each sensitive data field found, record:
96+
```
97+
| Field | Table/Source | Data Tier | Purpose | Encrypted? | Notes |
98+
```
99+
100+
> **Classification basis:** Tier assignments follow GDPR Article 9 (special categories), PCI-DSS v4.0, and HIPAA 45 CFR Part 164. See `references/data-classification.md` for the full taxonomy and `references/SOURCES.md` for primary source links.
101+
102+
---
103+
104+
### Step 3 — Data Flow Tracing
105+
106+
Trace how sensitive data moves through the system:
107+
108+
**Ingestion Points (data enters the system):**
109+
- Form submissions, API POST/PUT endpoints, file uploads
110+
- Third-party webhooks, OAuth callbacks, SSO assertions
111+
- Data imports, CSV/Excel ingestion, ETL pipelines
112+
113+
**Processing Points (data is used/transformed):**
114+
- Business logic operating on sensitive fields
115+
- Caching layers (Redis, Memcached) — what keys contain PII?
116+
- Message queues (Kafka, SQS, Service Bus, RabbitMQ) — what payloads?
117+
- Background jobs and workers — what data do they process?
118+
119+
**Storage Points (data at rest):**
120+
- Primary databases (SQL, NoSQL, time-series)
121+
- File storage (S3, Azure Blob, GCS, local filesystem)
122+
- Search indexes (Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Azure AI Search, Algolia) — are PII fields indexed?
123+
- Analytics warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Synapse) — are they scoped properly?
124+
- Backup stores — are backups encrypted and access-controlled?
125+
126+
**Transmission Points (data leaves the system):**
127+
- Outbound API calls to third parties (payment processors, email providers, analytics)
128+
- Webhook deliveries — what payload is sent?
129+
- Report/export generation (CSV, PDF, Excel downloads)
130+
- Email/SMS/push notifications — what data is included in the message body?
131+
132+
**Exposure Points (data can reach unauthorized parties):**
133+
- Public-facing API endpoints without authentication
134+
- Missing authorization checks (IDOR / BOLA vulnerabilities)
135+
- Overly broad API responses (returning more fields than needed)
136+
- CORS misconfigurations
137+
- Publicly accessible storage buckets or containers
138+
- Logging sensitive data to stdout/stderr in containerized environments
139+
- Error messages or stack traces containing PII
140+
- Debug endpoints left active in production
141+
142+
Read `references/blast-radius-calculator.md` for scoring formulas.
143+
144+
---
145+
146+
### Step 4 — Blast Radius Calculation
147+
148+
For each **exposure vector** identified in Step 3, calculate:
149+
150+
```
151+
Blast Radius Score = Data Sensitivity Tier × Exposure Likelihood × Population Scale × Data Completeness
152+
```
153+
154+
**Population Scale Estimate:**
155+
- If user counts are hard-coded (e.g., seeder files, comments, README): use that
156+
- If no count found: use a conservative estimate and state the assumption
157+
- SaaS product → assume 10K–1M users
158+
- Internal tool → assume 100–10K users
159+
- Consumer app → assume 100K–10M users
160+
- Apply a **multiplier** if the breach would expose data of minors (×2), health data (×3), or financial credentials (×5) due to regulatory severity
161+
162+
**Regulatory Jurisdiction Detection:**
163+
- If `gdpr` / EU currencies / EU phone formats / `.eu` domains / EU datacenter regions found → GDPR applies
164+
- If California residents mentioned / US `.com` / Stripe US / state-specific tax logic → CCPA applies
165+
- If health record fields (diagnosis, medication, ICD codes, FHIR resources) → HIPAA applies
166+
- If Brazilian users / BRL currency / CPF fields → LGPD applies
167+
- If Singapore / Thailand / Malaysia / Philippines data patterns → PDPA applies
168+
- Apply ALL jurisdictions that match — the most restrictive governs notification timeline
169+
170+
Read `references/regulatory-impact.md` for fine calculation formulas and notification requirements.
171+
172+
---
173+
174+
### Step 5 — Regulatory Impact Estimation
175+
176+
For each triggered jurisdiction:
177+
- Calculate the **maximum fine exposure** using formulas in `references/regulatory-impact.md`
178+
- Calculate the **minimum fine exposure** (realistic for first offense with cooperation)
179+
- Estimate the **breach notification cost** (legal, communications, credit monitoring)
180+
- Estimate the **reputational multiplier** (public-facing breach vs. internal tool)
181+
182+
Generate a **Financial Impact Summary Table:**
183+
```
184+
| Regulation | Max Fine | Realistic Fine | Notification Cost | Timeline |
185+
```
186+
187+
> Note: These are estimates for risk planning purposes only. Always consult legal counsel for actual regulatory guidance.
188+
189+
---
190+
191+
### Step 6 — Blast Radius Report Generation
192+
193+
Read `references/report-format.md` and generate the full report.
194+
195+
The report MUST include:
196+
1. **Executive Summary** (2–3 paragraphs, no jargon)
197+
2. **Sensitive Data Inventory** (table: all PII/PHI/financial/credential fields found)
198+
3. **Data Flow Map** (Mermaid diagram of data moving through the system)
199+
- After building the Mermaid markup, **call `renderMermaidDiagram`** with the markup and a short title so the diagram renders visually — do not output it as a fenced code block
200+
- Use `style` directives: `fill:#ff4444` (red) for critical findings, `fill:#ff8800` (orange) for high-severity exposure points
201+
4. **Top 5 Exposure Vectors** (ranked by blast radius score)
202+
5. **Regulatory Blast Radius Table** (per-jurisdiction)
203+
6. **Financial Impact Estimate** (realistic range)
204+
7. **Hardening Roadmap** (from `references/hardening-playbook.md`)
205+
206+
---
207+
208+
### Step 7 — Hardening Roadmap
209+
210+
Read `references/hardening-playbook.md` and generate a **prioritized action plan**:
211+
212+
For each critical or high-severity exposure vector:
213+
- **What to fix**: specific code/config change
214+
- **Why**: regulatory risk and user impact
215+
- **Effort**: Low / Medium / High
216+
- **Impact**: blast radius reduction percentage (estimated)
217+
- **Quick win flag**: mark items fixable in < 1 day
218+
219+
Sort by: `(Impact × Severity) / Effort` — highest value first.
220+
221+
---
222+
223+
## Output Rules
224+
225+
- **Always** start with the Executive Summary — leadership reads this first
226+
- **Always** include the Sensitive Data Inventory table — this is the foundation
227+
- **Always** produce the Financial Impact Estimate — this drives organizational change
228+
- **Always** call `renderMermaidDiagram` for the Data Flow Map — never output raw Mermaid code blocks; the tool renders it as a visual diagram automatically
229+
- **Never** auto-apply any code changes — present the hardening roadmap for human review
230+
- **Be specific** — cite file paths, field names, and line numbers for every finding
231+
- **State assumptions** — if record count is estimated, say so explicitly
232+
- **Be calibrated** — distinguish "this is definitely exposed" from "this could be exposed under conditions X"
233+
- If the codebase has minimal sensitive data and strong controls, say so clearly and explain what was scanned
234+
235+

236+
237+
## Severity Tiers for Blast Radius
238+
239+
| Tier | Label | Examples | Multiplier |
240+
|------|-------|----------|------------|
241+
| T1 | **Catastrophic** | Government IDs, biometric data, health records, financial credentials, passwords | ×5 |
242+
| T2 | **Critical** | Full name + address + DOB combined, payment card data (PAN), SSN, passport numbers | ×4 |
243+
| T3 | **High** | Email + password (hashed), phone numbers, precise geolocation, IP addresses, device fingerprints | ×3 |
244+
| T4 | **Elevated** | First name only, email address only, general location (city), usage analytics | ×2 |
245+
| T5 | **Standard** | Non-personal config data, public content, anonymized aggregates | ×1 |
