Score Projection
Show the Path Forward

A security score tells a client where they stand today. Score Projection shows where they could be β€” modeling how fixing specific findings would raise their score β€” so remediation becomes a clear, motivating target instead of an open-ended chore.

Turn Remediation Into a Target

A single score is a snapshot β€” useful, but it doesn't tell a client what to do next or what they'd gain by doing it. Without that, remediation feels like an endless list, and it's hard to justify the investment to a client.

What motivates action is seeing the payoff: β€˜fix these three things and your score goes from 78 to 91.’ That reframes security work as measurable progress toward a concrete goal.

SBCMSP models the projected impact of remediating specific findings, so you can show clients exactly how their score improves as issues are resolved β€” making your roadmap tangible and your value easy to demonstrate.

Common Questions About Score Projection

How is the projected score calculated?
Score Projection models how a client's weighted security score would change if specific open findings were remediated, based on how those findings contribute to the current score. It shows the estimated score after fixes so remediation has a concrete target.
Is the projected score a guarantee?
No β€” it's a model based on the findings SBCMSP can currently see and how they're weighted. It's designed to guide prioritization and motivate action; the actual score after remediation is confirmed by re-scanning once fixes are in place.
How does this help me with clients?
It reframes security work as measurable progress toward a goal. Instead of handing a client an open-ended list, you can show them β€˜these fixes raise your score from here to there,’ which makes the value of remediation clear and easy to approve.
Does the projection appear in client reports?
Yes β€” current and projected scores, along with the improvement roadmap, can be presented in the client dashboard and reports, which carry your MSP branding on white-label plans.
