Criticality Overview
The Safeguard Ranking is a simple, yet powerful way to understand which safeguards are most critical. This criticality information can be used to prioritize audits and maintenance enabling organizations to improve their use of resources (human and capital) and ensure critical safeguards are in place and working effectively.
Safeguards are listed from most critical to least critical in the module and the sample risk matrix below helps explain how criticality of safeguards is determined.
The Safeguard A would have higher Criticality than the Safeguard B due to the following factors:
Safeguard A provides 2 drops in likelihood vs. only 1 drop in likelihood for Safeguard B
Safeguard A is reducing risk on scenarios with higher severity consequences than Safeguard B
Safeguard A is used in multiple scenarios where Safeguard B is used in only 1 scenario
Safeguard Ranking List and Sorting
Each row in the Safeguard Ranking module shows the Safeguard Description, Safeguard Criticality Ranking, Safeguard Criticality Value, Distribution of Residual Risk Ranking and Total Scenarios applied on, and its Category/Classification.
Safeguards displayed in the module are sorted by default from most critical to least critical as indicated by the length of the colored bar below the criticality value. Safeguards displayed in the list have at least 1 occurance in the PHA where it was taken for more than 0 credits.
To quickly see the lowest criticality safeguards, a user can select the arrow beside the "Criticality" title to sort from lowest to highest criticality.

Credits and number of times it was utilized for in session at each credit
Number of times it was the only credited safeguard on a scenario
Number of times it was one of many credited safeguards on a scenario
Distribution of scenarios the safeguard was applied on by consequence category
Distribution of scenarios the safeguard was applied on by inherent risk ranking
