Asset Criticality Score Recomputing

The Asset Criticality Score (ACS) system helps you evaluate and manage the importance level of assets within your organization. This feature provides a structured approach to assigning, updating, and tracking criticality ratings for all assets across business entities.

Key Features

Here are the important key features for recomputing the ACS score:

Tag-Based Criticality Assignment

The system uses tags to assign criticality scores to assets. When you create a tag, you assign a criticality score value to it. This score is then applied to any asset that receives that tag.

Multiple Tags: If an asset receives multiple tags with different scores, the system automatically applies the highest criticality score to that asset.

Static and Dynamic Tags

The system supports two types of tags to match your organizational needs.

• Static Tags

  Static tags are manually created and applied to assets. You define the criticality score when creating the tag, and it remains constant until you change it.

• Dynamic Tags

  Dynamic tags are automatically applied to assets based on rules you define. These tags automatically adjust when asset properties meet specified conditions.

• How it works:
  • Create tags within the system
  • Assign a criticality score to each tag (ranging from 1 to 5)
  • Apply tags to individual assets
  • The asset automatically inherits the tag's criticality score

Impact of TruRisk Calculation

Criticality score updates affect your organizational view across multiple levels:

• Asset Level
  Individual asset criticality status
• Business Entity Level
  Aggregated criticality for all assets within a business entity
• Organization Level
  Overall risk dashboard showing organization-wide criticality

Score Recalculation

The system recalculates criticality scores automatically, but you can also trigger manual recalculation when needed.

• Automatic Updates:
  • Scheduled automatic recalculation every couple of hours
  • All dependent calculations are updated in sequence
• Manual Recalculation:
  • Use the Recalculate Score option to update scores immediately
  • Manual recalculation completes in approximately 15 minutes
  • Useful when you need updated scores without waiting for scheduled updates

Currently, this feature does not apply to WAS-type assets.

Use Case: ACS Update and TruRisk Recalculation

Consider a scenario where:

• An asset has an ACS score of 2.
• The corresponding TruRisk score is 323, calculated using criticality 2.

  

You determine that the asset is more critical and should have an ACS score of 5.

To update this:

• Assign a tag configured with a criticality score of 5 to the asset.
• The asset immediately reflects the updated ACS score of 5.

  

However, you may notice that the TruRisk score still shows 323. This is because the TruRisk calculation was performed using the earlier criticality score (2).

By default, the system updates the TruRisk score during the scheduled automatic recalculation (every couple of hours). If you need the updated TruRisk score immediately:

• Click Recalculate TruRisk Score.

  

• The updated score is available in approximately 15 minutes.
