Security Score
Every audit produces a security score — a letter grade (A+ through F) that summarizes the engagement at a glance. The score is what executives, auditors, and dashboards see first.
How it’s calculated
Each audit starts at a perfect 100. Findings deduct points based on severity:
| Severity | Deduction |
|---|
| Critical | −30 points |
| High | −15 points |
| Medium | −8 points |
| Low | −3 points |
| Informational | 0 points |
| Score | Grade |
|---|
| 97–100 | A+ |
| 93–96 | A |
| 90–92 | A− |
| 87–89 | B+ |
| 83–86 | B |
| 80–82 | B− |
| 77–79 | C+ |
| 73–76 | C |
| 70–72 | C− |
| 60–69 | D |
| 0–59 | F |
Example calculations
| Findings | Score | Grade |
|---|
| 0 findings | 100 | A+ |
| 3 Medium, 2 Low | 70 | C− |
| 1 High, 4 Medium, 6 Low | 35 | F |
| 2 Critical, 1 High | 25 | F |
| 5 Low | 85 | B |
What the score is and isn’t
The score is good for:
- One-line summaries in dashboards, Slack notifications, and PDF covers
- Trend tracking across recurring audits
- Risk-tier classification across many workspaces (MSSP use case)
The score is not:
- A substitute for reading the findings
- A measure of total risk (one critical finding can be catastrophic regardless of score)
- A comparison metric between different products (an A on one app doesn’t mean it’s “more secure” than a B on another with a different surface)
Score in the API
The score is returned with every audit:
{
"audit": {
"id": "audit_abc123",
"status": "completed",
"score": 65,
"grade": "D",
"findingCount": 14,
"severityBreakdown": {
"critical": 1,
"high": 2,
"medium": 4,
"low": 6,
"informational": 1
}
}
}
Tracking over time
The workspace dashboard plots score trend across all audits run against the workspace. Use this to:
- Verify remediation progress sprint over sprint
- Detect regressions when new releases introduce findings
- Demonstrate continuous improvement to stakeholders
