Gunnar Peterson has a post from Metricon about Bryan Ware's presentation about combining the effectiveness of a solution and the risk involved. I couldn't find the link to the actualy presentation. (I didn't have the time to go through them all.)
I think I would tie the effectiveness of the proposed security solution to the cost of capital of the overall project. It would be interesting to tie Bryan's work with my "work" on estimating the cost of capital for an information security project.

There has been some excellent research done on the impact of information security breaches on the market cap of affected firms (which directly impacts their cost of capital): "The economic cost of publicly announced information security breaches: empirical evidence from the stock market Katherine Campbell, Lawrence A. Gordon, Martin P. Loeb and Lei Zhou Accounting and Information Assurance, Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland, 2003" (http://brief.weburb.dk/archive/00000130/01/2003-costs-security-on-stockvalue-9972866.pdf)
This UMD study found that a firm suffering a breach of 'confidential information' saw a 5% drop in stock price while firms suffering a non-confidential breach saw no impact.
