The Security Ratings alert category allows you to set alerts based on security ratings. These are configured from the Tier Settings page. Individual users have the option to opt-out of receiving alerts from the Alert Settings page.
Ratings Percent Change
Be alerted when security ratings decrease or increase by a set percentage. This is useful for monitoring general fluctuations in cyber security posture.
Ratings Threshold Change
Be alerted when security ratings cross or reach a set threshold. This is useful for setting ratings requirements, highlights what to change or escalate, and helps start cybersecurity dialogues with your third parties.
If the Alert Set is assigned to a tier, the Ratings Threshold in Tier Settings is automatically replaced with Risk Thresholds. Only Admin can set Risk Thresholds, as depicted in the Portfolio Risk Matrix.
