ServiceNow CIS-VR free question 10 / 10 · Domain 5: Vulnerability Response Dashboards and Reports
How is the % Vulnerable Items Met Remediation Target indicator calculated?
- Summed duration of Closed VIs divided by Closed VIs
- Closed VIs with Target Met divided by Closed VIs, times 100
- Closed VIs with Target Met divided by Total VIs, times 100
- Closed VIs divided by the active VIs, times 100
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B
Why this is correct
The formula is ([[Closed Vulnerable Items > Remediation Target = Target Met]] / [[Closed Vulnerable Items]]) 100. The goal is to maximize. Only closed items are in the calculation, so it measures how often the items that were fixed were fixed on time.
Why the other options are wrong
"Closed VIs divided by the active VIs, times 100" … The formula looks at whether closed items met the target; it does not compare them with active ones.
"Closed VIs with Target Met divided by Total VIs, times 100" … The divisor in the formula is the closed items, not every item.
"Summed duration of Closed VIs divided by Closed VIs" … This is the formula of the mean time to remediate, not of this indicator.
Key point
The VIs Met Remediation Target visualization shows the percentage of closed items that met their remediation target dates in the current and previous quarters. A rising value means that fixes land on time more often.
