Risk Rating 

Risk ratings are by default unassigned and are not mandatory to be selected. Each answer can be assigned a Risk Rating by clicking on the hazard icon. Depending on assessment responses, the reports generated will give an indication of the risk relating to each question.

The risk ratings are based on the following underlying scores:

Questions are organized into categories or domains, and your company will use these domains to specify which file each question is associated with. 

An overall score for each domain and the overall assessment is calculated by averaging the underlying score, rounding it to the nearest integer and then converting it back to the applicable risk rating, as below:

6clicks also creates detailed charts that visualize the distribution of responses based on risk ratings, both overall and by domain.
