Product ratings give decision-makers clear, forward-looking insight into the effectiveness of products tested. This report employs a letter rating system, which provides a forecast about a product’s capacity to meet its obligations to consumers over time. Products are assigned letter ratings ranging from AAA-D, calculated on a scale from 0 to 800. The highest rating of ‘AAA’ indicates that the product’s capacity to meet its commitments to consumers is extremely strong while a product rated ‘D’ is actively being breached by known threats and is unable to protect consumers. Ratings inform consumers, enhancing transparency and enabling them to focus on considerations that are most critical to their organizations.
