It would seem to me that you could grep the results and look for the "CVSS Base Score : "

A summation of the findings should give you a picture such that the lower your score, the better your performance.

A more accurate representation might be to incorporate a fixed or sliding multiplier so that a system with a few highs reports a much higher score than a host with a multitude of lows.

Nessus Scoring System







Is there any Scoring system / Risk Score based on Nessus output ?
What if an organization does scanning every day and want to know how the
"security score" is increasing or decreasing based on vulnerabilities found(not found).

I read one posting by Renaud in early 2005 in Nessus lists that it is being worked upon.
