How Risk Scoring Works

Created by Daniel Glauber, Modified on Wed, 25 Mar at 12:11 PM by Daniel Glauber

Risk72 calculates risk scores based on responses across multiple security domains.

Each domain contains a series of weighted questions that evaluate:

  • Control maturity
  • Implementation consistency
  • Operational effectiveness

Scoring Model

  • Each answer contributes to a domain score
  • Domains are weighted to reflect their impact on overall risk
  • The platform calculates a normalized score across all domains

What your score means

  • Higher scores indicate stronger security maturity
  • Lower scores highlight gaps and potential exposure

The platform also identifies:

  • High-risk areas requiring immediate attention
  • Opportunities for improvement
  • Trends over time when assessments are repeated

Risk72 is not just scoring compliance—it is measuring real operational risk.
