1. Add a 1 in the Weight box for the question itself. This applies to every question in your survey.
2. If it is a multiple choice question, enter a number for each option in the Multiplier box starting with 1 for the lowest risk and continuing consecutively. The highest number represents the most risk.
3. Rate the highest risk answer, which is Non-Existent Capability in the example, with a multiplier of 6.
4. Rate the lowest risk answer, which is World-class program in the example, with a multiplier of 1.
   
   
   
   
5. Once all questions are weighted and multipliers added, return to the main panel by clicking the right scrollbar, then clicking a question again.In the right-hand panel, ZenGRC automatically calculates Min score and Max score numbers by using the weights and multipliers on each question. Calculations are completed as follows:
6. Min score = Question weight x lowest multiplier. (1 x 1 = 1). Then total all questions.
Max score = Question weight x highest multiplier. (1 x 6 = 6). Then total all questions.

The Mid Risk Threshold box contains the number where the risk goes from low to medium risk. This is determined by you and can be calculated as follows:
1. The threshold needs to be greater than the Min score box, which means the number in the Mid Risk Threshold should be 16 or higher in the example. When the calculated questionnaire responses reach this number, the responses are moved from low to medium risk.
The High Risk Threshold box contains the number where the risk goes from medium to high risk. This is determined by you and can be calculated as follows:
7. Max score - Min score. (90 - 15 = 75)
8. Divide that by two. (75 / 2 = 37.5)
9. Add the Min score. (37.5 + 15 = 52.5)
The High Risk Threshold must be greater than 52.5.

can establish the mid and high risk thresholds.

Second Way to Weight a Questionnaire

...

• In the right-hand weighting panel, use the automatically calculated Min and Max scores (based on the sum of individual questions’ risk scores) to assist in designating Mid and High Risk Thresholds.

Determining Mid and High Risk Thresholds

...

No matter which way you decided to weight your questionnaire, the calculation for the mid and high risk thresholds is the same.

1. Click away from the highlighted question and then click any question again to display the right-hand panel where thresholds are calculated.
2. In the panel, ZenGRC automatically calculates Min score and Max score numbers by multiplying the weights and multipliers on each question. Calculations are completed as follows:
   1. Min score = Question weight x lowest multiplier. (1 x 1 = 1). Then total all questions.
   2. Max score = Question weight x highest multiplier. (1 x 6 = 6). Then total all questions.

3. The Mid Risk Threshold box is determined by you and can be calculated as follows:
   1. The threshold needs to be greater than the Min score box. So following the example, enter a number of 16 or higher in the Mid Risk Threshold. When the calculated questionnaire responses reach this number, the questionnaire rating goes from low to medium risk.
4. The High Risk Threshold box contains the number where the risk goes from medium to high risk. This is determined by you and can be calculated as follows:
   • Max score - Min score. (90 - 15 = 75)
   • Divide that by two. (75 / 2 = 37.5)
   • Add the Min score. (37.5 + 15 = 52.5)
   • The High Risk Threshold must be greater than 52.5.
