OBSERVED SECURITY POSTURE

Turn Security Evidence Into a Clearer Cyber Score

Turn observed security evidence into a clearer view of security posture. GapSwift Cyber Score provides a high-level indicator of observed security posture alongside underlying findings and evidence, helping IT and security teams understand where attention may be required.

WHAT CYBER SCORE MEANS

A high-level view that remains connected to evidence.

Cyber Score brings supported security observations into a high-level posture indicator while keeping underlying findings and evidence available for context.

It should be interpreted together with the underlying security information rather than as a complete measurement of cybersecurity or organizational risk.

EVIDENCE BEHIND THE SCORE

See the signal and the supporting context.

Go beyond the score by understanding the supported findings and evidence that provide context around observed security posture.

Explainability and context help teams move from a high-level indicator to the underlying information needed for investigation, without exposing or inventing scoring formulas, weights or thresholds.

Evidence → Findings → Context → Cyber Score
EVIDENCE

Supported observations provide a factual starting point.

FINDINGS

Implemented assessments retain their relevant context.

CONTEXT

Asset and security information supports understanding.

CYBER SCORE

A high-level indicator remains connected to the information beneath it.

CONNECTED SECURITY CONTEXT

Understand Cyber Score alongside the wider security picture.

Cyber Score can be understood alongside Asset Intelligence, supported Windows security posture, Security Gaps and relevant Vulnerability Intelligence. These connected views provide context without implying that every view directly affects the Cyber Score calculation.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT

Understand how observed posture has evolved.

Track supported Cyber Score and security-posture changes over time to understand how observed posture has evolved.

Use historical context alongside findings and asset changes to understand meaningful changes in observed security posture.

CYBER SCORE FAQ

Common questions.

What is GapSwift Cyber Score?

Cyber Score is a high-level indicator of observed security posture designed to be understood alongside the underlying findings and evidence available in GapSwift.

What does Cyber Score measure?

GapSwift Cyber Score reflects supported security posture information evaluated by the implemented GapSwift scoring model. It summarizes observed posture while remaining connected to the underlying findings and evidence.

Is Cyber Score a security guarantee?

No. Cyber Score is an indicator of observed security posture based on supported information available to GapSwift. It does not guarantee that an organization or asset is secure.

Is Cyber Score a compliance or certification score?

No. Cyber Score should not be interpreted as a certification, compliance determination or guarantee that a particular security framework has been satisfied.

Can I see what is behind the score?

Yes. GapSwift keeps Cyber Score connected with available security findings, evidence and relevant asset context so teams can understand the score in context.

Does vulnerability information affect Cyber Score?

GapSwift provides relevant vulnerability information alongside Cyber Score and other security context. Specific scoring inputs, formulas and weighting relationships are not publicly disclosed.

Can Cyber Score change over time?

Yes. Supported score and posture history can help teams understand how observed security posture has changed over time. GapSwift does not claim complete historical reconstruction of every scoring factor.
