Overview

The Compliance Dashboard provides a snapshot of an organization's compliance posture and its progression through time.There are several sections on the dashboard that provide detailed metrics around program status and control healthdetailed metrics around program and control statuses.

Accessing the Compliance Dashboard

Program Status

The Program Status section area displays all programs in your organization's instance. This alphabetical list provides a status and shows audit readiness for two different phases in a program's timelinedevelopment. 

Image Added

Those two phases of Audit Readiness are as follows:

• Onboarding Phase - The program has no completed auditaudits. Program mappings are calculated.
• Audit Phase - The program has at least one completed audit. Control effectiveness is calculated.

Understanding Onboarding Phase Readiness

Onboarding Phase Audit Readiness

If there is no completed audit, the program is still in the onboarding phase, the message displayed on mouse hover provides percentages of objectives that have mapped controls. This program may have active audits, but if it has no completed audits, there are no metrics to display for control health. The Audit Readiness calculations are based on percentages of objectives with mapped controls. Then the low, moderate and high rating is based on that and not control effectiveness.

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. 
  

• .

Audit Phase Audit Readiness

If a program is in the audit stage, which means it has there is at least one completed audit, the message displayed on mouse hover  the program is in the audit phase. The Audit Readiness calculations are based on calculations of control effectiveness during the last program 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.

If an assessment is mapped to multiple objects, the only one used for calculations is the one mapped to a control in the last completed audit.

High Risk Entities

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

Understanding High Risk Entities

 In order to display Image Added

The numbers in the High Risk Entities section, objects must have at least one high risk mapped with a score that is greater than or equal to 20.In addition, a risk only displays if it is mapped to one of the followingRisk Entities graphic are calculated as follows:

• The entity must be a(n):

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

• The entity must have at least one high risk object mapped to it.

• The top three entities (or objects) with the largest number of high risk items are displayed with their counts from left to right.

Issues

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

• up to 5 non truncated titles of issues
  • in states Identified, Assigned or Remediation in progress
  • sort by age, oldest on top
• Get issues from the entire system
• List all objects mapped to issue separated by newline
• age is calculated as number of days since issue creation
• on click pass send user to the issue card/info panel/page (whichever exists at the point of implementation)

The Issues area displays columns with the following criteria:

• Top 5 issues - This column pulls the oldest 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 - This displays all objects mapped to the displayed issue.
• Age - This is the number of days shown in red since each issue was created. The oldest issues display first.

Future Gap Analysis

The Future Gap Analysis area provides an estimated level of effort for achieving compliance with a new framework. The estimate is based on overlapping frameworks in your ZenGRC System of Record.

The area only pulls programs still in a Draft status.

Image Added

The Future Gap Analysis area displays columns with the following criteria:

• Program - These are draft programs with at least one mapped objective.
• Objectives not met - This represents two things:
  • Objectives in the draft program are not mapped to objectives in finalized programs.
  • No controls mapped to objectives of finalized program also mapped to objectives in draft program
• Objectives potentially met - This is the number of objectives in the draft program that are also scoped to finalized programs that have corresponding mapped controls.
• Estimated coverage - This value is computed by dividing the number of objectives potentially met by the total number of objectives (sum of previous two columns).

Risk Heatmap

The Risk Heatmap area is a scaled-down report on risks the organization is facingfaces along with the their likelihood and impact. This provides risk severity and how soon do we have to take the actionaction is necessary.

Individual Program Status

Clicking a program in the Program Status area displays metrics regarding the that program's control efficiency of the selected program.

Accessing

Program Metrics

On the Compliance DashboardTo access individual program metrics, complete the following:

1. Click the 

Control Health Metrics

1. From the Compliance Dashboard, click a linked program in the Program Status area.
2. The metrics for the selected program

• count controls mapped to the selected programthrough the PSSOC hierarchyand evaluate effectivenessbased 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%: red
      • 61%-80%: orange
      • 81% 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

Control Health

The following sections describe how Control Health metrics are obtained.

Control Count

Regardless of whether the program has a completed audit, the effective and ineffective control numbers on the left side of the graphic are calculated as follows:

• Numbers are based on assessments in the most recent, completed audit.
• If the program has no completed audits, metrics are pulled from audits for other programs that share the selected program's controls. 
• Only controls mapped in the PSSOC hierarchy are counted.

% Control Effectiveness

The % control effectiveness in the middle displays colors and percentages that are based on the numbers in the Control Count  described above. The percentages are calculated as follows:

• Red - 0 percent to 60 percent assessed controls are rated effective.
• Orange - 61 percent-80 percent assessed controls are effective.
• Green - 81 percent and above assessed controls are effective.
