What is a device Security Score?

A 0–100 numeric representation of one device's security posture at the most recent scan, severity-weighted across all applicable configuration checks. Used as an at-a-glance fitness indicator and as the clean numeric input that Conditional Access systems consume.

Why a score, not pass/fail?

A device passes either every check or it doesn't — and almost no device passes every check on any given day. Pure pass/fail produces a fleet where everything looks "failing", which is useless for prioritisation and useless for Conditional Access. A score captures the severity-weighted reality: most devices are mostly passing, with a handful of gaps, and the gaps that matter most show up most in the score.

How Lorika weights the score

The algorithm is deterministic — same posture produces the same score, every time, on every device. Severities and weights are documented in the Trust Center so the score is auditable.

How to use the score

👀

Fleet-level dashboard

Histogram or quartile view across the fleet. Spot the long tail of low-scoring devices to triage. Track average score over time to see overall fleet hygiene trending.

🚪

Conditional Access gate

Feed the score into Okta / Azure AD / Tailscale / Cloudflare Access. Set a threshold per resource sensitivity. Devices that drop below lose access automatically; user gets a remediation prompt.

📈

Per-device trend

Per-device time series shows whether a device is getting better, getting worse, or holding steady. A device with a slowly-declining score deserves attention even if it's still above threshold.
