There aren't. It's like saying someone's a "little bit pregnant". You have complete control, or you have less-than-complete control. There are degrees of less-than-complete, but not complete. The name of the game is prevention, detection, and recovery: prevent compromises from occurring, detect them when prevention fails, and recovery to a known-good state. In electronic voting we liked to have multiple orthogonal PDR; the idea of somehow persisting in operations after complete compromise was always seen as a fool's errand.
