Security Awareness Coverage at 71% target awareness completion rate: a worked example

Suppose target awareness completion rate falls to 71%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate security awareness coverage for manufacturing and OT support users against a target completion rate.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Users completing required awareness: 940 users (held at the documented default)
  • Total users in awareness scope: 1,020 users (held at the documented default)
  • Target awareness completion rate: 71 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 98)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Security awareness coverage = users completing required awareness ÷ total users in awareness scope × 100.
  • Security awareness coverage works out to 92.16 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Security awareness coverage gap to target works out to -21.16 points at these inputs.
  • Users completing required awareness works out to 940 count at these inputs.
  • Total users in awareness scope works out to 1,020 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target awareness completion rate sits at 98% and the headline result is 92.16 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 92.16 %.
  • It computes the percentage of in-scope users who have completed required awareness training and the point gap to your target rate. 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

  • Security awareness coverage: 92.16 % (headline result)
  • Security awareness coverage gap to target: -21.16 points
  • Users completing required awareness: 940 count
  • Total users in awareness scope: 1,020 count
