First pass. This rating covers 3 of the methodology's 7 pillars, scored from evidence we already hold (treaty and adequacy registers, our own CERT list and collector, and passive checks of two government websites per country). It is a starting point, not a verdict: the remaining pillars, a wider government-domain sample and corrections from the countries themselves will move it edition by edition. Version v0.1 first pass, cut-off 2026-10-26.
Our cyber reasoning
The Cyber Risk Barometer rates countries on protection in practice, not on paper: each indicator is a public, checkable fact or something we measure ourselves. The seven pillars, their fixed weights and the A to E bands are set out in the methodology before any country is scored. This page shows every indicator we hold for American Samoa, with the evidence behind it.
National CERT in action
15% of the rating
0/ 100 · 0 of 9 measurable points (15 in all)
Is there a national CERT, and is it visibly working? Three of the six indicators are measured today from our own list and collector; the other three are still to be measured. Our daily collector reads every working feed, so "publishing" is observed, not declared.

Data sources
National CERT: the Cyber Risk Barometer's list of national CERTs and cyber agencies (FIRST teams directory, plus teams added by hand), and our daily feed collector, which records whether each team's feed is working. Master copy: the "CERTs & sources" tab of our data workbook. No contact data is collected.
Cyber pillars: methodology v0.1 (seven pillars, fixed weights, A to E bands), our own design; evidence from treaty offices, official adequacy lists, statutes, regulators and our own passive checks. Not derived from any other country cyber ranking.
