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:

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