# Managing your risk scores

> Learn strategies to reduce your asset, integration, and tenant risk scores in Plerion by remediating findings and addressing high-risk assets.

Effective risk management is a continuous process. Regularly monitor your asset, integration, and tenant risk scores, and remediate findings to strengthen and maintain your security posture.

## Improving asset risk score

There are two primary strategies to manage and reduce an asset risk score:

### 1. Remediate identified findings *(Recommended)*

The most effective way to lower an asset risk score is to address the findings associated with the asset:

* Prioritize remediation of **high-severity findings** first, as they have the greatest impact on the overall score.
* Systematically work through remaining issues to reduce the asset’s risk comprehensively.

### 2. Review and exempt detections

In some cases, certain findings may not apply to your environment. In these situations, you can:

* Exempt detections associated with failed findings using the reasons **False Positive** or **Compensating Control**.
* Note that choosing **Accepted Risk** will **not** improve the asset risk score.

<Warning>
  Exemptions reduce the asset risk score but do not reduce the actual risk of the asset. Use this option carefully and only when you are certain the finding does not represent a genuine risk in your environment.
</Warning>

## Improving integration and tenant risk scores

Integration and tenant risk scores are directly influenced by the asset risk scores within them. To reduce these scores, you should:

1. Identify the assets with the highest asset risk scores within the integration or tenant.
2. Focus remediation efforts on those high-risk assets.

As these assets are remediated, the integration and tenant risk scores will decrease accordingly. See [Integration and tenant risk score](/guides/platform/plerion-risk-score/integration-and-tenant-risk-score) for more details.
