Software vulnerabilities
70This check counts only when a source covers the company. With no events it holds the pillar, which is not proof of a clean record. Each recorded event takes points off the pillar, and serious or recent ones count most. Allegation checks, regulator actions and open investigations use half the severity load. Known-exploited flaws (CISA list) in the company's official software, last 24 months. A disclosed and fixed flaw does not lower the score.
