Define your organization's mitigation coverage so that you can effectively measure and detect specific adversary techniques.

|Overall Technique Mitigation Coverage|Coverage Percentage Lower Limit|Coverage Percentage Higher Limit|Coverage Color|Description|
|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------|-----------|
|None|0|0|\#DD8581|You have no technique mitigation coverage, and your defence controls have no ability to prevent an attack in any scenario.|
|Poor|1|20|\#EABA75|You have minimal technique mitigation coverage. The chances of an attack are very high, and your defence controls can prevent an attack in 0 to 20 percent of the scenarios.|
|Fair|21|40|\#F4F0BF|You have an average technique mitigation coverage. The chances of an attack are high, and your defence controls can prevent an attack in 21 to 40 percent of the scenarios.|
|Good|41|60|\#D9EBEE|You have a good technique mitigation coverage. However, the chances of an attack are relatively high, and your defence controls can prevent an attack in 41 to 60 percent of the scenarios.|
|Very Good|61|80|\#C3DDF0|You have a very good technique mitigation coverage. The chances of an attack are low, and your defence controls can prevent an attack in 61 to 80 percent of the scenarios.|
|Excellent|81|100|\#68ABDA|You have an excellent technique mitigation coverage and the chances of an attack using this technique is very low and your defence controls can prevent an attack in 81 to 100 percent of the scenarios.|
