Summary

Risk scores combine multiple control point results to generate stronger statements about entries or transactions. Engagement-level risk scores inherit default settings from the library, but can be adjusted in the engagement settings to tailor analyses based on your needs and methodology.

Risk scores are organized within distinct risk groups. MindBridge provides several preset risk groups, but you can also create your own custom risk groups to help you organize your risk scores.
