calculateRisk (Object Version)

Usage

The calculateRisk function (object version) extracts probability and impact from an object and calculates the risk severity. This is a wrapper for the base calculateRisk function that accepts an object instead of separate parameters.

Syntax

{riskObject | calculateRisk}

Parameters

• input (object): An object containing:
  • probability (string): The probability level
  • impact (string): The impact level

Returns

A string representing the calculated risk severity: "Informational", "Low", "Medium", "High", "Critical", or undefined if input is invalid

Examples

Basic object calculation

{{"probability": "High", "impact": "Medium"} | calculateRisk}
// Returns: "High"

With vulnerability object

{vulnerability | calculateRisk}
// Calculates risk from vulnerability.probability and vulnerability.impact

Critical scenario

{{"probability": "Critical", "impact": "High"} | calculateRisk}
// Returns: "Critical"

Low risk

{{"probability": "Low", "impact": "Low"} | calculateRisk}
// Returns: "Low"

Missing input

{null | calculateRisk}
// Returns: undefined

Use Cases

• Processing vulnerability objects with embedded risk factors
• Bulk risk calculations from assessment data
• Risk calculation when data comes as complete objects
• Integration with forms that submit risk objects
• Simplified syntax when working with structured data

Relationship to Base Function

This is a convenience wrapper that:

1. Accepts an object with probability and impact properties
2. Extracts these properties
3. Calls the base calculateRisk(probability, impact) function
4. Returns the calculated risk level
