Risk Tab

The View Identity > Risk tab provides a current composite identity risk score with a list of the raw and compensated risk score for each category used to derive the composite score. This page also provides a list of the top composite score contributors which provide further information on how the score was derived. This information helps to provide clues on the areas of highest risk. These scores are based on the latest information discovered.

IdentityIQ uses a combination of base access risk and compensated scoring to determine the overall Identity Risk Scores, or Composite Risk Score, used throughout the application.

Base access risk score is a measure of inherent user access risk. Base risk scores are set on each role, entitlement, and policy defined. This type of score ranges from 0 (lowest risk) to 1000 (highest risk).

A series of compensating factors are applied to each base risk score to calculate compensated scores. These compensated scores are then weighted using a maximum contribution percentage and combined to form an overall Composite Risk Score for each user.

The compensating factors and weighted values enable you to identify high risk users based on more than the roles they are assigned in your enterprise.
