# Risk Level

### Risk Level <a href="#risk_level" id="risk_level"></a>

The **Risk Level** (RL) is a quantitative metric that assesses the current **exposure** to software supply chain attacks. It evaluates the ***security posture*** of the DevOps system based on scans conducted by the Xygeni platform.

In the [Dashboard](https://docs.xygeni.io/xygeni-web-ui-overview#xygeni-web-ui), the **Risk Level** is displayed alongside its variation in relation to the current baseline of projects.

The Risk Level is quantified on a scale from 0 to 100, with 100 indicating the highest level of risk. This measure is determined by the issues identified within a project. If no issues are detected, the Risk Level is rated as 0.&#x20;

The RL is qualified in three categories that make more evident how good or bad is the risk for the organization. Each category is encoded with a color following the "semaphore" scheme:

* **Low**: RL between 0 and 33, green color.
* **Moderate**: RL between 33 and 66, yellow color.
* **High**: RL between 66 and 100, blood-red color.
