Based on the OWASP Risk Rating Methodology: Risk = Likelihood × Impact. Rate each factor 0–9, and the severity comes from the OWASP matrix, customised for healthcare and mapped to the CSC remediation SLAs.
| Severity | Example criteria | Maximum time to remediation | OWASP result (likelihood × impact) |
|---|
Method: OWASP Risk Rating Methodology, repeatable method (factor averages, equal weights). CSC customisations allowed by OWASP step 6: a patient safety business-impact factor that sets the minimum impact; a “none” option for privacy; KEV sets likelihood to at least High; Emergency is a rule-based overlay above OWASP Critical; OWASP “Note” maps to Low. CSC sets the final severity and records the reason.
