How is the risk management status calculated?

On this page:

• Website/app risk management status
• Workspace risk management status
• Organization risk management status

Website/app risk management status

Note that the risk management status currently is only available for websites.

The website/app risk management status calculation uses the number of resolved findings and compliance data from three default accessibility policies, totalling four variables in the calculation:

• Number of resolved findings
• Number of overdue critical severity findings
• Number of overdue high severity findings
• Number of overdue low severity findings

Each variable uses automated scan/monitoring and manual finding data.

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. This calculation sets 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.

The following table describes the calculation variables, their weight, and default policy thresholds.

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.
