Risk Score for Compliance Documents: AI-Powered Gap Detection
Quick Answer
93% of compliance managers can\'t accurately assess their violation risk without spending days manually auditing every document. By the time they discover critical gaps - expired certifications, missing OSHA forms, retention violations - it\'s often too late. The average company discovers compliance failures during an inspection, not before.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a compliance risk score?
A composite metric showing an organization's regulatory exposure across the documents and processes a regulator would check. Typically scored 0-100. FileFlo's scoring algorithm weighs (1) document completeness against rule-pack requirements, (2) document currency (no expired items), (3) recent inspection/violation history, (4) gap-to-penalty mapping. Different regulators have different scoring weights — FMCSA emphasizes DQF and HOS, CMS emphasizes process measures, OSHA emphasizes training and recordkeeping.
Is FMCSA's CSA score the same as FileFlo's compliance risk score?
No. CSA is FMCSA's Safety Measurement System using carrier inspection history (24-month rolling window). FileFlo's compliance risk score is forward-looking — it shows current document and process compliance state, predicting what an inspector would find. The two correlate (poor FileFlo score predicts CSA degradation) but measure different things.
How does FileFlo calculate the compliance risk score?
Per regulator, weighted: (1) 40% document completeness — every required document for every entity (driver, employee, location) is present. (2) 25% document currency — no expirations. (3) 20% process compliance — required processes (training cadence, inspections, audits) on schedule. (4) 15% inspection/violation history — recent issues that haven't been remediated. Score updates daily as documents move in/out of compliance.
What's a 'good' compliance risk score?
85+: survey-ready / audit-ready. 70-84: minor gaps to address. 50-69: material gaps requiring focused remediation (typically 30-90 days to recover). Below 50: high-risk; an unannounced inspection would likely produce serious citations. The score is shown on the FileFlo dashboard and on the public Edge Function pages (carrier, HHA, SNF, hospice profiles).
