From grade to priority list

Risk Overview takes the same evidence behind the Security Score and re-orders it around one question: what should be looked at first. Findings are ranked by severity and by their effect on the overall grade.

Priority crossed with exposure

The same priority ranking can be cross-referenced with exposure signals — public resources, open ports, affected regions — so a reviewer can tell whether the top-ranked item is also internet-reachable, which usually decides how urgently it gets worked.
