Understanding Risk Scores
- Each vendor receives a composite risk score (0-100)
- Lower scores = lower risk, higher scores = higher risk
- Scores are broken down into 4 dimensions:
Cyber Risk
Security posture, vulnerability history, breach records
Financial Risk
Revenue trends, bankruptcy probability, credit ratings
Geopolitical Risk
Location stability, sanctions exposure, political events
Compliance Risk
Certifications, regulatory status, FOCI indicators
💡 Tip: Click on any dimension to see the underlying data points and sources.
Setting Up Monitoring
- Go to Settings → Alerts
- Configure alert thresholds (e.g., notify when score increases by 10+)
- Select notification channels (email, Slack, webhook)
- Set frequency (real-time, daily digest, weekly summary)
- Enable geopolitical alerts for critical regions
💡 Tip: Start with higher thresholds to avoid alert fatigue. Adjust as you learn your baseline.
