Based on your answers, your network’s security risk is:
Critical
Your network faces significant security risks that could likely result in the compromise of the confidentiality (for example, allowing an unauthorized user to see sensitive data), integrity (such as allowing an unauthorized user to change sensitive data), or availability of your data. Such a security breach or compromise could dramatically impact your business’s reputation, lead to a loss of customers, or carry stiff fines/penalties if you are in a regulated industry.
High
Your network faces significant security risks which, over time, could result in the compromise of the confidentiality (for example, allowing an unauthorized user to see sensitive data), integrity (such as allowing an unauthorized user to change sensitive data), or availability of your data. These risks could lead to a loss of customers, the disruption of your business operations, or potential fines/penalties if you are in a regulated industry.
Medium
Your network faces some security risks which, over time, could result in the compromise of the confidentiality (for example, allowing an unauthorized user to see sensitive data), integrity (such as allowing an unauthorized user to change sensitive data), or availability of your data. If you exercise diligence in defending your data by implementing some of the other steps mentioned here, you can minimize the likelihood you will experience a compromise.
Low
You appear to have taken many of the steps recommended to minimize the risks to your network. It is still possible that a compromise could occur, so you should continue to remain diligent in defending your data. You have minimized the likelihood that you will experience disruptions in service related to security attacks.

Insecurity of the Internet. CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET CREATES INSECURITY. Security and disruption problems are inherent in the Internet. The very openness of the Internet creates risks that the Internet is insecure, and vulnerable to both intentional and unintentional disruption. Security breaches can occur for technical and other reasons, and, despite the implementation of security measures, we cannot guarantee that our networks are not vulnerable to unauthorized and illegal access, computer viruses and other disruptive problems. Our ability to provide our services depends in part on the reliability of the Internet and the networks of our partners, and our services can also be negatively affected by limitations inherent in the technology infrastructure supporting the Internet and the internal networks of Internet users. Customer must provide adequate information security for their own networks by using appropriately complex passwords, firewalls, and updated anti-virus and anti-spyware software.
