Confidentiality Exposure Index Calculator

Assess confidentiality exposure before signing any agreement confidently. Compare scenarios, document safeguards, and share reports. Reduce leakage risk with clear obligations and practical controls.

Use this index for internal prioritization, not as legal advice.

Scores range from 0 to 100. Higher values indicate greater confidentiality exposure.

Used for context in exports and reviews.
Value: 3
1 public, 5 highly sensitive (trade secrets, regulated data).
Value: 3
Consider dataset size, frequency, and refresh cycles.
Value: 3
1 single team, 5 broad distribution across organizations.
Value: 3
1 days/weeks, 5 years or indefinite access.
Value: 3
1 weak, 5 strong (MFA, RBAC, logging, reviews).
Includes hosting or access from other jurisdictions.
Any onward disclosure to vendors or affiliates.
Consider prior breaches, leaks, or enforcement actions.

Formula used

The index is a weighted average of risk signals normalized to a 0–100 scale, with reverse scoring for controls and safeguards.

RiskSignal(1–5) = ((value - 1) / 4) * 100
ReverseControl(1–5) = ((5 - value) / 4) * 100
SafeguardRisk = 100 - (selectedSafeguards / 10) * 100

Confidentiality Exposure Index =

Interpretation notes

0–20 Low
Routine confidentiality clauses, basic controls, and standard recordkeeping.
21–40 Moderate
Add tighter scope, role-based sharing, and clear breach notice timelines.
41–60 Elevated
Use audit rights, stronger protections, and documented access reviews.
