Compliance Framework Coverage Score

Quickly understand the efficacy of your configuration in implementing the controls of a compliance framework.

The coverage score of a compliance framework is a metric of how well your environment as a whole is configured to implement all controls of a compliance framework. At a glance, you can summarize the efficacy of your configuration without analyzing the numbers and details yourself.

The score does not suggest whether your organization satisfies all requirements of a compliance framework or whether your organization will pass an audit.

In Outcomes Navigator, the coverage score of a compliance framework is called <Coverage Framework> Coverage Score; for example, the coverage for HIPAA is called the HIPAA Coverage Score.

The Compliance Coverage Score for a compliance framework is calculated once per day.

Compliance Framework Coverage Score Calculation

The score is the average Control Coverage Score across all unhidden controls.

The average is calculated by:

Equation 11. 
A=SNA=\frac{S}{N}


where A is the average, S is the sum of all Control Coverage Scores across all unhidden controls, and N is the total number number of unhidden controls.

Compliance Framework Coverage Score Trends

You can view your coverage score for a compliance framework and a chart depicting trends in the score over a one-month, three-month, or six-month period in the summary of your compliance coverage.

Average Weekly Compliance Framework Coverage Score Calculation for One-Month Period

If the chart depicts the Compliance Coverage Score over a one-month period, each bar represents the average coverage score for a given a week. This average is calculated by:

Equation 12. 
A=SNA=\frac{S}{N}


where A is the average Compliance Coverage Score for a given week, S is the sum of daily Compliance Coverage Scores calculated in the week, and N is the number of times the daily Compliance Coverage Score was calculated in the week.

Average Monthly Compliance Framework Coverage Score Calculations for Three-Month and Six-Month Periods

If the chart depicts the coverage score over a three-month or six-month period, each bar represents the average coverage score for a given month. This average is calculated by:

Equation 13. 
A=SNA=\frac{S}{N}


where A is the average Compliance Coverage Score for a given month, S is the sum of weekly average Compliance Coverage Scores calculated in the month, and N is the number of times the weekly average Compliance Coverage Score was calculated in the month.
