What is a Breach Likelihood of a Scorecard with an A Grade?

In this article:

We only have a measure of the relative likelihood of a breach, rather than the absolute likelihood. We cannot provide the absolute probability because we don't know how many breaches occur within a time period. Most breaches go unreported by companies. As a result we cannot provide any percentage or times of when a company having A grade may face a breach.

The relative Breach likelihoods are below:

-> Companies with a B rating are 2.9x more likely to be breached as compared to companies with an A rating.

-> Companies with a C rating are 5.4x more likely to be breached as compared to companies with an A rating.

-> Companies with a D rating are 9.2x more likely to be breached as compared to companies with an A rating.

-> Companies with a F rating are 13.8x more likely to be breached as compared to companies with an A rating.

NOTE: The above data is estimated and has been tested through the validation testing method of our scoring algorithm.
