Understanding Zero Trust Risk Score (ZTRS)
Your Zero Trust Risk Score is a real-time assessment of digital identity and trustworthiness — similar to a credit score, but for verifying who you're communicating with online.
What ZTRS Measures
ZTRS validates your entire digital profile across the TripleEnable ecosystem, including:
- Email addresses (verified and validated)
- Phone numbers (confirmed ownership)
- Social media accounts (Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms)
- Domain ownership (for business users)
- All other digital assets added to TripleEnable
How ZTRS is Calculated
Your ZTRS is evaluated continuously and recalculated monthly using TripleCyber's proprietary AI engine that assesses:
Location Patterns
Monitors geographic access points and detects anomalies. Consistent location patterns increase trust; unusual access attempts may lower scores.
Validation History
Analyzes authentication trends and consistency. Regular, successful validations build trust over time.
Security Factors
Evaluates encryption status, asset age, and dark web exposure. Older, verified assets with no breach history score higher.
Device Security and Digital Behavior
Analyzes patterns to provide real-time trust ratings. Consistent device usage and normal behavior patterns indicate trustworthiness.
Advanced Security Checks
The ZTRS system performs comprehensive security checks including:
- Phishing and spoofing detection
- Domain reputation monitoring
- Breach exposure analysis
- SIM-swap detection for phone numbers
- DKIM/DMARC validation for email security
Reading ZTRS in Contact Profiles
When viewing a contact's ZTRS, you'll see:
Overall Score
A confidence rating indicating overall trustworthiness
Zone Level
Their current security zone (Anonymous, Verified, or Secure)
Contributing Factors
Granular breakdown of what contributes to their score — not just a yes/no "secure" label
Trust Signals
Live indicators of identity confidence displayed next to the contact
What the Zones Tell You
Each contact zone carries specific meaning about the level of identity verification that has been completed.
Anonymous Zone Contacts
- No identity verification completed
- Cannot view their ZTRS (they're anonymous by design)
- Use caution with sensitive information
- Appropriate for casual, non-sensitive conversations
Verified Zone Contacts
- 2FA authentication completed
- Basic identity confirmation
- Moderate trust level
- Good for professional networking and general communication
Secure Zone Contacts
- Government ID verified
- Face recognition completed
- Phone and email confirmed
