The score compares this month's measured safety losses with the five-year norm for the same month. It does not measure every aspect of national safety. What it covers

Where the score comes from
Six areas, weighted by how much harm they cause. Each is compared with its own average for the same month over the past five years. Select a row for the numbers.

How this connects to the National Security Strategy
The NSS ranks national threats in four tiers by how likely they are and how much damage they do. Each safety area above is tied to the threat it informs. Threats shown in grey have no safety indicator yet. The score informs 7 of 18 NSS threats, and 3 of 5 in Tier 1.
A national safety and resilience risk index, based initially on measurable, economically consequential events. A single figure cannot describe every threat in the National Security Strategy, so the Authority separates what moves insurance premiums from what it only watches.

Not measured
Threats the index does not record, and why.
Terrorism & Violent Extremism
Intelligence-led. Not recorded by the NSI.
Espionage
Intelligence-led. Not recorded by the NSI.
CBRN
Intelligence- and defence-led. Not recorded by the NSI.
Sovereignty & Territorial Integrity
Defence-led. Not recorded by the NSI.
Maritime Security
Concerns trade routes through neighbouring ports. No reportable incident type in the pilot.
Youth Unemployment & Poverty
A condition measured by surveys, not an incident. Not an insurable-loss measure.
Approved incident reports for the month are counted in six areas.
Each area is compared with the average for the same calendar month over the previous 5 years, taking in how many incidents, how serious, and how costly.
Area scores run from 1 to 10 and are weighted into one national figure.
The figure sets the next month's insurance adjustment on the scale above.
