# Risk Assessment

> Configure risk assessment profiles with custom rules and scoring in iDenfy to evaluate client risk for fraud prevention and compliance.

Client risk scoring evaluates the risks involved with a new or existing client. It's key to preventing fraud, ensuring compliance, and managing financial exposure.

## How the Risk Is Calculated

The overall risk is weight-based:

1. Each category has a specific number of risk rules.
2. The system takes the maximum possible result of each rule and sums it up. Risk scores:

* **Very low** — 1
* **Low** — 2
* **Medium** — 3
* **High** — 4
* **Very high** — 5

3. The system calculates each category risk: `Category risk / Category risk total * 100`
4. The system calculates each category risk by its weight and sums everything: `(Category 1 risk * Category 1 weight) + (Category 2 risk * Category 2 weight) + ...`
