Identity Security Score

The Identity Security Score dashboard provides a comprehensive, real-time assessment of your organization's identity security posture. It combines threat intelligence, authentication analytics, access analysis, and account health into a single actionable view.

Identity Security Score Dashboard

Identity Security Score

The headline metric is a composite security score ranging from 0 to 100, displayed as a prominent gauge at the top of the page.

0–39RedCriticalImmediate action required

How It's Calculated

The score is a weighted composite based on four key dimensions:

Score Calculation Info

Score = MFA Adoption (30 pts) + Failed Login Rate (30 pts)
+ Account Health (20 pts) + Privileged Access (20 pts)
ComponentMax PointsWhat Improves It
MFA Adoption30Enable MFA for all users
Failed Login Rate30Lower failure rates (investigate brute-force, fix misconfigured accounts)
Account Health20Remove stale/orphaned accounts, maintain active accounts
Privileged Access20Minimize privileged users, follow least-privilege principle

Trend & Threats

Below the score gauge, two indicators provide context:

  • Trend — Percentage change compared to the last reporting period (e.g., +0% vs last period)
  • Critical Threats Detected — Count of active critical-severity threats (e.g., 0 Critical Threats Detected)

Authentication Activity

Tracks authentication patterns over the selected time period:

MetricDescriptionExample
LoginsTotal authentication attempts382
MFALogins that included an MFA challenge0
SuccessPercentage of successful authentications58.4%

A time-series chart plots login volume over the date range (e.g., 01-20 through 02-07), helping you identify patterns such as peak login periods, unusual spikes, or drops in activity.

warning

A success rate below 60% indicates significant authentication issues. Investigate whether this is caused by misconfigured accounts, brute-force attacks, or user credential problems.

Access Overview

A summary of your identity infrastructure at a glance:

MetricDescriptionExample
UsersTotal user accounts63
RolesDefined roles8
PermissionsTotal permission rules173
AppsIntegrated applications0

Privileged Users

Displays the count and percentage of users with administrative or privileged roles:

  • Count: Number of privileged users (e.g., 1)
  • Percentage: Share of total users (e.g., 1.6% of total users)
  • Status icon: Green checkmark (✅) when within acceptable limits
Best Practice

Industry guidelines recommend keeping privileged users below 5% of your total user base. ThetaSecure flags this metric with a warning if the ratio exceeds recommended thresholds.

Security Alerts

Real-time security alert monitoring with severity classification:

SeverityCountColor
CriticalImmediate threats requiring urgent actionRed
HighSignificant risks requiring prompt attentionOrange
MediumModerate risks for scheduled reviewYellow

An overall risk badge (e.g., Low, Medium, High, Critical) is displayed in the top-right corner of the widget. When no alerts are active, it shows "No alerts."

MFA Statistics

Identity Security Score - Bottom Section

Provides a detailed view of your MFA deployment:

Risky Login Blocking

  • Blocked percentage — Gauge showing the rate of risky logins blocked by MFA (e.g., 0% Blocked)
  • Count — Total number of risky logins blocked (e.g., 0 risky logins blocked)

MFA Methods Distribution

A donut chart breaking down registered MFA methods:

MethodDescription
EmailEmail-based one-time codes
TOTPTime-based one-time passwords (Authenticator apps)
WebAuthnHardware security keys or biometric authentication
SMSText message based codes
PushPush notification to mobile app

This distribution helps you understand which methods are adopted and plan migration strategies (e.g., moving from SMS to TOTP/WebAuthn for stronger security).

Account Health & Geo Analytics

Stale Accounts

Identifies accounts that have been inactive for more than 90 days:

  • Count: Number of stale accounts (e.g., 0)
  • Threshold: >90 days inactive
  • Status icon: Red ✕ when stale accounts exist, green ✓ when clean

Stale accounts are security risks — they can be targets for account takeover. Review and deprovision them regularly.

Geographic Analytics

Monitors login activity for geographic anomalies:

  • No suspicious activity detected — Geographic patterns are normal
  • Suspicious activity detected — Logins from unexpected locations flagged for review

Geographic analytics helps detect impossible travel scenarios (e.g., a user logging in from two distant locations within a short time frame) and logins from high-risk regions.

Time Range Filter

Improving Your Score

Based on the scoring formula, here are the highest-impact actions ordered by potential point gain:

  1. Enable MFA for all users (+30 pts potential) — The single biggest improvement. Navigate to Authentication → MFA Policies
  2. Reduce failed login rate (+30 pts potential) — Investigate failure patterns in the Operations Dashboard, fix misconfigured accounts, enforce stronger passwords
  3. Clean up stale accounts (+20 pts potential) — Deprovision accounts inactive for 90+ days
  4. Review privileged access (+20 pts potential) — Audit admin accounts, remove unnecessary privileges, enforce just-in-time access
danger

A score of 40 or below indicates critical security gaps. Address MFA adoption and authentication failure rates as immediate priorities.
