How do I read my CyberCompliance

Quantitative – your actual score represented as a single number between 0 and 100, you know exactly what your score is – no fluffy stuff for you to learn before understanding what your CyberScore is.
 
Graded Scores – having a number attributed to your CyberCompliance is helpful, but it doesn’t mean much when there are so many factors which contribute to your specific score. With our graded score system, HighGround shows you what you are doing well, where you can improve, and where you are lacking entirely.

Click to see more:

• Compliance Component: the type of Compliance Documentation
  
• Impact on Score: the number of points added to your CyberCompliance score as a result of this Compliance Component
  
• Running Score: your ComplianceScore at the time the points for that Complaince Component were added
  
• Details: the reason for that component's impact on your CyberCompliance score

Next to each individual Compliance Component are Compliance Status' - which indicates the impact that component is having on your CyberCompliance Score. A green icon indicates a 'healthy' state, whilst an orange icon indicates a 'warning' state, and a red icon indicates a 'critical' state. You can read more about these status' in or Compliance Status' section.

In the left-hand column, you can see the individual factors within that component that are contributing to your CyberCompliance score. Any 'warning' or 'critical' state factors will contain a suggestion for how to improve your CyberCompliance underneath.

There are many elements that can impact your CyberCompliance. These are the main ones:

• Lack of attention to compliance – such as missing Incident Response Plans, BCDR Plans and Information Security Policies.

• Failing to comply with best practices and international standards such as UK Cyber Essentials.

• Failing to Identify your current cyber security posture and thus your risks, by performing regular Risk Assessments.
