# Customize risk score configuration ![Beta](/assets/beta-label.9b17384c64e8fb7cb732f95290c8a2c0d60692664b94277dc09c2c605b8b07a9.319dc5f7.png)

All incoming and outgoing transactions must be approved or rejected before they can be processed. To automate transaction approval and rejection, you can set up customized risk score ranges that define the condition that must be met to auto-approve or auto-reject a transaction. Risk score configuration varies based on which compliance solution you chose. Currently, the following options exist:

- [Elliptic](#configuration-with-elliptic)
- [Chainalysis](#configuration-with-chainalysis)


## Configuration with Elliptic

Using the risk scores you configure, transactions are classified as low or high risk. Transactions whose risk scores fall between the low and high risk scores numbers are automatically classified as medium risk. For example, if your configuration is such that transactions with a risk score of 3.3 or below are low risk, and transactions with a risk score of 6.6 or higher are considered high risk, then transactions with a risk score between 3.3 and 6.6 are considered medium-risk transactions.

To customize the risk score ranges, complete these steps:

1. In the left navigation menu, select **Integrations** and on the Elliptic tile, select **Configure**.
2. In the **Elliptic integration** window, next to **Customize your risk score configuration**, select **Start**.
3. In the **Customize your risk score configuration** window, start by customizing risk scores for outgoing transactions.
  1. In the low-risk category, select a **condition** from the following options:
    - **Less than**
    - **Equals or lower than**
  2. Select a (decimal) **value** between **0** and **10**.
  3. Select the type of **action** that should be applied if the risk score meets the condition. The following options are available:
    - **Apply automatic approval**
    - **Apply automatic rejection**
    - **Apply manual review**
4. Repeat step 3 to customize risk scores for the high-risk category.
If an operation doesn't fall under the low-risk or high-risk category, it's considered medium-risk, which requires a case-by-case decision. For more information, see also [Add a policy rule for outgoing transactions](/products/custody/v1.36/compliance/transaction-screening/outgoing-transaction-policies).
5. Select **Next**.
6. If you want to use a different score configuration for incoming transactions, select the **Use different scoring configuration for incoming transactions** checkbox. If you want to use the same score configuration, select **Submit**.


If no errors occur, your customized risk score configuration will be displayed in the **Elliptic integration** panel and transactions screening begins.

## Configuration with Chainalysis

Chainalysis categorizes transaction risks as **low**, **medium**, **high**, or **severe**. Transactions whose category level is unknown or can't be retrieved, or whose categories are unknown or can't be retrieved, are categorized as **unknown**.

To customize the risk levels, complete these steps:

1. In the left navigation menu, select **Integrations** and on the Chainalysis tile, select **Configure**.
2. In the **Chainalyis integration** window, next to **Customize your risk score configuration**, select **Start**.
3. For each of the six risk categories, select the type of **action** that should be applied if the risk level is met. The following options are available:
  - **Apply automatic approval**
  - **Apply automatic rejection**
  - **Apply manual review**
4. Select **Next**.
5. If you want to use a different score configuration for incoming transactions, select the **Use different scoring configuration for incoming transactions** checkbox. If you want to use the same score configuration, select **Submit**.


If no errors occur, the **Chainalysis integration** panel displays your customized risk score configuration, and transactions screening begins.
