What does DIY TPM integration really cost?
A senior embedded security engineer costs a median of $13,000 per month in the USA, tax included and TPM integrations rarely take less than 3 months. Run your own numbers.
The in-house math
Building TPM updates in-house means paying senior embedded security engineers and a TPM project usually takes between 6 and 12 months, including the research time to work through the TPM specifications, the required TPM 2.0 commands and learn a TPM Software Stack (TSS).
Compare the time and engineering cost of a typical TPM development with an EnactTrust license plus about one month of integration and testing. That's the gap this calculator measures.
Estimates only. Engineering cost is months × team size × $13,000 (median). The EnactTrust side counts the starting price of a license plus one month pay of the same internal team for integration. Time saved compares a typical in-house duration for your expertise level against ~1 month with Enact.
