Human risk score
A per-person score that summarizes one subject’s human risk from threat, access and behavior evidence over a window. The scale is set by the program or the tool; the taxonomy states the inputs and the window beside any score.
Example
A security analyst sorts the sales team by score, opens the top three people and reads the signals behind each number before acting.
