Security Trade-off Score - OpsBeacon

What the score measures

The Security Trade-off Score (0–100) reflects how well your security investment is aligned with your actual risk exposure. A low score means you have high-cost security gaps that are cheap to fix. A high score means your security investment is proportional to your risk. The score factors in:

Total monthly dollar exposure from open security gaps
Estimated cost and effort to remediate each gap
Number of high-severity findings vs total findings
Time since findings were first detected

What a good score looks like

Score	Interpretation
80–100	Strong posture — gaps are minor or expensive to fix relative to risk
60–79	Manageable — a few high-value fixes available
40–59	Attention needed — meaningful exposure at low remediation cost
0–39	Critical — significant risk with available fixes being deferred

Improving your score

The fastest way to improve the score is to resolve high-exposure, low-effort findings first. Beacon surfaces these as Priority Actions in the Security Economics Report.
