Website/app risk management status
Note that the risk management status currently is only available for websites.
There are three website/app risk management status calculations:
- Default calculation: Uses the three default severity levels.
- Four severity levels: For customers that have one additional custom severity.
- Five severity levels: For customers with two additional custom severities.
The for all calculations, the website/app risk management uses the number of resolved findings and compliance data from the overdue findings accessibility policies:
- Number of resolved findings
- Number of overdue critical severity findings
- Number of overdue high severity findings
- Number of overdue low severity findings
When applicable, the calculation is adjusted for organizations that have additional custom severities to include:
- Number of overdue findings for custom severity 1.
- Number of overdue findings for custom severity 2.
Each variable uses data from scans, monitoring, and evaluations.
To accurately calculate risk, each variable uses a weighted formula. The sum of the weighted variables is the "score" that's then translated to an easy-to-understand risk status. The workspace risk management status uses the average of all website/apps in your workspace. The program dashboard risk management status uses the average of all workspaces across your organization. These calculations set a consistent benchmark for accessibility risk and strength of your accessibility program.
The risk management status updates daily, so you can always have an understanding of your progress.
Default calculation
The following table describes the calculation variables, their weight, and default policy thresholds for the default calculation.
Variable | Weight | Default thresholds |
---|---|---|
Resolved findings | High | N/A |
Overdue critical severity findings | Medium | 45 days |
Overdue high severity findings | Low | 50 days |
Overdue low severity findings | Low | 60 days |
Four severity levels
The following table describes the adjusted calculation variables, their weight, and default policy thresholds for organizations with four severity levels.
Variable | Weight | Default thresholds |
---|---|---|
Resolved findings | High | N/A |
Overdue critical severity findings | Medium | 45 days |
Overdue high severity findings | Low | 50 days |
Overdue findings for custom severity 1 | Low | 55 days |
Overdue low severity findings | Low | 60 days |
Five severity levels
The following table describes the adjusted calculation variables, their weight, and default policy thresholds for organizations with five severity levels.
Variable | Weight | Default thresholds |
---|---|---|
Resolved findings | High | N/A |
Overdue critical severity findings | Medium | 45 days |
Overdue high severity findings | Low | 50 days |
Overdue findings for custom severity 1 | Low | 55 days |
Overdue findings for custom severity 2 | Low | 60 days |
Overdue low severity findings | Low | 70 days |
Workspace risk management status
The workspace risk management status is the average "score" from each website/app. The average score is then translated into an easy-to-understand status.
Organization risk management status
Note: Only Enterprise customers in the organization administrator user group have a program dashboard with the organization-level risk management status.
The organization risk management status is the average "score" from each workspace. The average score is then translated into an easy-to-understand status.
