How Cerbi scores violations
Governance measured,not assumed.
Governed outcomes from connected workloads provide the evidence for reporting and scoring in CerbiShield. Review posture alongside the active policy, workload context, and available observations.
Governance scores are indicators of policy adherence. They are not a guarantee of compliance or audit outcomes.
More than pass/fail. A view of governance over time.
Cerbi's scoring mechanism gives teams something audit-readiness requires: a measurable, time-series record of governance posture - built from real enforcement data, not self-reported.
Governance health score
Aggregate score (0–100) reflecting how closely log events follow the active governance profile for a given service and environment.
Violation trends over time
Week-over-week and month-over-month violation counts. Identify services trending in the wrong direction before they become incidents.
Relaxation and bypass history
Every time a governance rule was relaxed or bypassed, CerbiScoring records the actor, timestamp, and rule affected.
Time-series posture view
Track governance improvement across teams and services. Gives security and engineering leadership a measurable baseline.
Per-service and per-environment breakdown
Filter scoring views by service, environment, or governance profile. Isolate where governance debt is concentrated.
Compliance evidence support
Scoring records are retained and queryable. Useful for supporting audit evidence, not a guarantee of compliance outcomes.
What the score bands mean.
Bands are a guidance heuristic and may be tuned per governance profile. Not a compliance certification.
Excellent
Strong governance posture. Minimal violations.
Good
Small gaps. Review open violations.
Fair
Notable gaps. Investigate and remediate.
Poor
High risk. Prioritize remediation.
Governance metadata attached to every event.
Every log event processed by CerbiStream carries governance metadata. That metadata is what Cerbi uses to compute posture scores and violation trends, which surface in CerbiShield. It is also available in your downstream observability platform for query.
Metadata is always present - even when no violations were found. This ensures complete traceability across all log events, not just the ones that failed policy.
When scoring is enabled
Security and Compliance
Quantified evidence of logging policy adherence across connected services. Violation records and relaxation history for audit support.
