Dear experts,
I would like to understand how is the score calculation and score roll-up for the calculation of the compliance score for Policies, Citations and Authority Documents?

Hi @ChuanYanF ,
In GRC, compliance score represents how compliant an item is with respect to its associated requirements, tests, and evidence.
It is calculated bottom-up, meaning:
Citations (Control Objectives / Requirements)
A citation typically maps to one or more controls.
Each control may have one or more indicator results / tests (automated or manual).
A citation’s compliance score is based on the percentage of passed tests.
Citation Score = (Number of Passed Test Results ÷ Total Test Results) × 100
Authority Documents (Parent Layer)
Authority Documents (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001) contain many citations.
The compliance score for the Authority Document is a roll-up of all associated citations.
Authority Document Score = Weighted Average of all Citation Scores
Weighting depends on configuration — by default, it is equal weighting.
Policies (Business-facing layer)
Policies can be mapped to authority documents and citations.
Their compliance score is a roll-up of the linked authority documents/citations.
This provides a business-level view: “How compliant is my organization with the policy?”
Policy Score = Weighted Average of linked Authority Document and/or Citation Scores
