How does SODO assess the different areas in the dashboard?

Ratings in the dashboard are assigned at two levels: global (for each of the V Pillars) and local (for the individual ‘tiles’ that make up the Pillar).

• Global rating (for each of the V Pillars) are derived from the ratings in the individual areas (tiles) that make up the respective pillar. SODO sums up the level of compliance with RODO in all active tiles (green, yellow or red) and then calculates the percentage level of compliance within the respective Pillar. According to the following algorithm:

  • 3 points for a green tile (high RODO compliance), 1 point for a yellow tile (average RODO compliance), 0 points for a red tile (low or no RODO compliance).

  • Example: in Pillar II (Awareness) we have two tiles: Training and Empowerment. If both tiles are active and one of them is yellow (and thus will receive 1 point) and the other is red (and thus will receive 0 points), this will result in: 1 + 0 = 1. That is to say, out of 6 possible points (2 x 3 maximum points if both tiles were green) in Pillar II, we will have only 2/6 compliance, or 16%. Therefore, this Pillar will receive a red colour indicating a low level of compliance.

  • Remember that the following do not count towards the assessment: deactivated (greyed out) tiles and information tiles (marked in blue)

• Local rating (for the individual ‘tiles’ that make up a given pillar) are assigned according to a criterion adopted by our experts. To find out the evaluation criteria, move the mouse cursor over the top left-hand corner of the respective tile (with an ‘i’ icon). For each tile, the criterion is different and depends on the specifics of the area. For example, to receive a good (green) score for the Training tile, a minimum of 90% of users must be trained.
