► The Global Health Security Index (GHSI) is a new tool that can be used to assess a country's global health security.► It uses open-source information to establish how each of the 195 International Health Regulations signatory countries meet 85 subindicators across six categories.► The process is comprehensive; however, questions remain over the skew of indicators towards the priorities of high-income countries, the validity of some indicators, the scoring system and its weighting, and how the GHSI adds value to existing assessments of global health security.► We recommend avoiding using the scoring to determine priorities and compare countries with one another
