Website/app risk management status
Note that the risk management status currently only works for websites and won't be calculated for apps.
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 and manual finding data.
Note that the risk management status doesn't consider findings from monitoring.
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.
| 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 |
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.
