Cyber Recovery Readiness Index with recovery impact score of 4.5 score: a worked example

Suppose recovery impact score falls to 4.5 score. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Rank OT cyber recovery readiness using recovery impact, recovery exposure, and readiness weakness.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Recovery impact score: 4.5 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 9)
  • Recovery exposure score: 6 score (held at the documented default)
  • Recovery readiness weakness score: 4 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Cyber recovery readiness risk score = recovery impact score × recovery exposure score × recovery readiness weakness score.
  • Cyber recovery readiness risk score works out to 4.9 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Recovery impact score works out to 4.5 score at these inputs.
  • Recovery exposure score works out to 6 score at these inputs.
  • Recovery readiness weakness score works out to 4 score at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where recovery impact score sits at 9 score and the headline result is 6.7 score, this scenario comes in 26.87% below the baseline at 4.9 score.
  • It multiplies three 0-10 sub-scores (recovery impact, recovery exposure, recovery readiness weakness) into a single recovery readiness risk score. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • Cyber recovery readiness risk score: 4.9 score (headline result)
  • Recovery impact score: 4.5 score
  • Recovery exposure score: 6 score
  • Recovery readiness weakness score: 4 score
