Anatomy of a Score

FICO® ESS is based on an empirical score that relies on a comprehensive and diverse set of cyber security data signals in order to determine the risk profile for an organization. These signals capture several key symptoms including the health and hygiene of IT systems, network infrastructure and software and services. A historical set of these data signals is combined with a set of good and bad exemplars to train a machine learning model. This trained model then serves as the engine that can score any organization's cyber security posture and its data breach risk. The score is presented on a scale of 300-850.
