Overview

The Compliance Dashboard provides a snapshot of an organization's compliance posture as well as its progression through time.

There are several sections tables on the dashboard that provide detailed metrics around program status and control health.

Accessing the Compliance Dashboard

To access the Compliance Dashboard, complete the following:

1. Click Dashboard | Compliance Dashboard.

Program Status

The Program Status section table displays all programs in your organization's instance regardless of the state. This alphabetical list provides audit readiness statuses for two phases in a program's timelinedevelopment. 

Program Status Phases

The two phases displayed in the Program Status section  table are as follows:

• Onboarding Phase - The program has no completed audits. This phase checks objective mappings through PSSOC hierarchy, which is done in the Program Onboarding Wizard. 
• Audit Phase - The program has at least one completed audit.
  
  

Understanding Onboarding Phase Readiness

If a program is still in the onboarding phase, the  the message displayed on mouse hover provides percentages of objectives that have with mapped controls. This program may have active audits, but if it has no completed audits, there are no metrics to display for control health.



Onboarding phase status definitions are as follows:

• Low - No objectives are scoped or control mappings are less than 40 percent. 
• Moderate -  Control mappings are equal or greater than 40 percent and less than 80 percent. 
• High - Control mappings are equal or greater than 80 percent. 
  
  

Understanding Audit Phase Readiness

If a program is in the audit stage, which means it has at least one completed audit, the message displayed on mouse hover provides percentages of effective controls in the last audit.



Audit phase status definitions only cover the last completed audit and are as follows:

• Low - Over 80 percent of control assessments are deemed ineffective either by design or operation.
• Moderate -  Over 30 percent and less than or equal to 80 percent are deemed ineffective either by design or operation.
• High - Less than or equal to 30 percent of control assessments are deemed ineffective either by design or operation.
  
  

High Risk Entities

The High Risk Entities section table reports the top three object types associated with high risk scores, which then provides an organization with the focus for with risk mitigation focus.

Understanding High Risk Entities

The High Risk Entities section table displays three objects with the greatest number of high risk items. Only the following are included in this sectiontable's calculation:

• The entity must be one of the following objects:

  • Contract
  • Control
  • Org Group
  • Data Asset
  • Process
  • Objective
  • Product
  • Program
  • Threat
  • Policy
  • Issue
  • Market

• The entity must have at least one item classified as high risk.

• The top three entities (or objects) with the most high risks are displayed with their counts from left to right. 

Issues

The Issues section table of the Compliance Dashboard displays the top five outstanding issues in  ZenGRC. This should then be your compliance team's focus for the next time period.

Understanding the Issues

Table

The Issues section table displays columns with the following criteria:

• Top 5 issues - This column pulls all issues in the ZenGRC application, regardless of mappings, that are set to one of the following statuses (other statuses are ignored):
  • Identified.
  • Assigned.
  • Remediation in progress.
• Associated Entities - All objects mapped to the displayed issue.
• Age - The number of days shown in red since each issue was created. The oldest issues display first.

Future Gap Analysis

The Future Gap Analysis section table provides the estimated level of effort for achieving compliance with a new framework based on overlapping frameworks in your ZenGRC System of Record.

The section table only pulls programs still in a Draft status.

Understanding the Future Gap Analysis

Table

The Issuessection Future Gap Analysis table displays columns with the following criteria:

• Program - These are draft programs with at least one mapped objective.
• Objectives not met - The his is the number of objectives in the draft program not scoped to other finalized programs. These objectives still need to be coveredattention.
• Objectives potentially met - The This is the number of objectives in the draft program that could be potentially met by objectives in a related finalized program.
• Estimated coverage - Estimate of objective overlap between the finalized and draft programs to show effort in finalizing the draft program.

Risk Heatmap

The Risk Heatmap section table is a scaled-down report on risks the organization is facingfaces along with likelihood and impact. This provides risk severity and how soon action is necessary.

Click one of the cubes a cube on the grid to open the Risk Heatmap module.

Individual Program Status

Clicking a program in the Program Status table displays metrics regarding the selected program's control efficiency, regardless of whether the program is in the Onboarding or Audit phase.

Accessing

Program Metrics

On the Compliance Dashboard, complete the following:

1. Click a linked program in the Program Status section table.

Control Health Metrics Table

The metrics for control efficiency for of the selected program are calculated in the Control Health table as follows:

• count controls mapped to the selected programprogram through the PSSOC hierarchyhierarchy and evaluate effectivenesseffectiveness based on last assessment mapped to the control whose audit has been completed
  • take into consideration the last completed audit:
    • 1st level sorting: "Audited period end" date
    • 2nd level sorting (if 1st level not available or its tied): date when audit was completed
  • count of effective controls
  • count of ineffective controls
  • show effectiveness count: effectives control/all control
    • show gauge color:
      • 0-60 percent: red
      • 61 percent-80 percent: orange
      • 81 percent and above: green
  • show audit readiness badge for program (same as for all programs, user story no. 3 in this spec)
• Click on Effectiveness metrics or on the round percentage: take the user to the SoR listing for controls
  • • filters applied: map:program
    • workaround for now: old SOR, go to program page, controls tab

Section Status

all the sections for this program with metrics about mapped objectives and controls count and highlighted with colors based on control effectiveness

• display all sections mapped up the hierarchy (to the standard and program)
• Show objective and controlcount
  • Objective count: all objectives mapped to the section
  • Control count: cumulative sum of all controls mapped to each objective (per section)
• Objective count: objectives mapped to the section, standard, and program (all the way up in the hierarchy)
• Display frame around each section color:
  • Green: more than 80 percent of the objectives have at least one control mapped
  • Orange: between 50 percent and 80 percent of the objectives have t least one control mapped
  • Red: let than 50 percent of the objectives have at least one control mapped
• Hover on the "badge" same as in US#4 (see above)
• on click take to the SoR objective list:
  • filter is applied: map:program
  • filter is applied: map:section
  • visible column selected: map:control
  • workaround for now: old SOR, go to program page, controls tab

High Risk Entities

the top 3 highest risk entities for a specific program.

• display top three high risk entities mapped to objects that are mapped to specific program

Top Five Issues

the top five outstanding issues regarding a specific program

• up to 5 non truncated titles and descriptions for issues mapped to this specific program

Risk Matrix

This section The Risk Matrix displays risks for the selected  program and at what selected program along with the likelihood and what impact, so I can decide on risk severity and how soon do we have to take the actionimpact. This narrows the focus of your risk management action to a single program.

• display a scaled down risk heat map here (/risk_heatmap) only with risks mapped to this specific program
  • filter risk heat map for that specific program if on a single program view
• clicking on the scaled down risk heat map takes me to the risk heat map page
  • select the box I clicked on
  • if a program is selected keep the same program filter
