| 5 | +--- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +DefectDojo Pro's Priority and Risk calculations can be adjusted, allowing you to tailor DefectDojo Pro to match your internal standards for Finding Priority and Risk. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Prioritization Engines |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Similar to SLA configurations, Prioritization Engines allow you to set the rules governing how Priority and Risk are calculated. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +DefectDojo comes with a built-in Prioritization Engine, which is applied to all Products. However, you can edit this Prioritization Engine to change the weighting of **Finding** and **Product** multipliers, which will adjust how Finding Priority and Risk are assigned. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### Finding Multipliers |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Eight contextual factors impact the Priority score of a Finding. Three of these are Finding-specific, and the other five are assigned based on the Product that holds the Finding. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +You can tune your Prioritization Engine by adjusting how these factors are applied to the final calculation. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Select a factor by clicking the button, and adjust this slider allows you to control the percentage a particular factor is applied. As you adjust the slider, you'll see the Risk thresholds change as a result. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +#### Finding-Level Multipliers |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +* **Severity** - a Finding's Severity level |
| 30 | +* **Exploitability** - a Finding's KEV and/or EPSS score |
| 31 | +* **Endpoints** - the amount of Endpoints associated with a Finding |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +#### Product-Level Multipliers |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +* **Business Criticality** - the related Product's Business Criticality (None, Very Low, Low, Medium, High, or Very |
| 36 | +High) |
| 37 | +* **User Records** - the related Product's User Records count |
| 38 | +* **Revenue** - the related Product's revenue, relative to the total revenue of the Product Type |
| 39 | +* **External Audience** - whether or not the related Product has an external audience |
| 40 | +* **Internet Accessible** - whether or not the related Product is internet accessible |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +### Risk Thresholds |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +Based on the tuning of the Priority Engine, DefectDojo will automatically recommend Risk Thresholds. However, these thresholds can be adjusted as well and set to whatever values you deem appropriate. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +## Creating New Prioritization Engines |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +You can use multiple Prioritization Engines, which can each be assigned to different Products. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Creating a new Prioritization Engine will open the Prioritization Engine form. Once this form is submitted, a new Prioritization Engine will be added to the table. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +## Assigning Prioritization Engines to Products |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Each Product can have a Prioritization Engine currently in use via the **Edit Product** form for a given Product. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Note that when a Product's Prioritization Engine is changed, or a Prioritization Engine is updated, the Product's Prioritization Engine or the Prioritization Engine itself will be "Locked" until the prioritization calculation has completed. |
