The getting-started checklist
When you first create your workspace, the dashboard shows a three-step setup checklist instead of the full view. These steps must be completed before your risk score and financial exposure model can be calculated.Organization profile
Your organization profile is created automatically when you sign up. Verify your industry, revenue range, and employee count in Settings so the financial model is calibrated correctly.
Baseline security assessment
Navigate to Setup → Baseline and complete the assessment questionnaire. This seeds your unified control library and generates your first risk score.
Evidence expiry banner
If any of your evidence items are due to expire within the next 30 days, an orange warning banner appears at the top of the dashboard. It lists each expiring item by name and shows the number of days remaining (or “expired” if the deadline has already passed). Click Review on the banner to jump directly to your Evidence page, filtered to show expiring and expired items.KPI cards
The four cards at the top of the dashboard each show a single headline metric. Clicking any card takes you to the relevant section for a deeper view.Risk Score
Your overall posture score from 0 to 100. Green indicates low risk (61–100), amber is medium (41–60), and red is critical (0–40). Click to open the Risk Analysis page.
Annual Exposure
The expected Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE) in dollars — your most probable annual financial loss from a cyber incident. Click to open the Financial Exposure page.
Controls
Shows implemented + in-progress controls out of the total in your library (for example, 18/64). Click to open the Controls page.
Avg Readiness
The average readiness percentage across all compliance frameworks you’re tracking. Click to open the Frameworks page.
Dashboard widgets
Below the KPI row, the dashboard displays several widgets depending on your data.Framework readiness
A list of progress bars — one per framework — showing each framework’s readiness percentage. The color moves from red (below 40%) through amber to green (70% and above). Click Details to go to the full Compliance page. If you haven’t selected any frameworks yet, the widget shows a prompt to add them.Financial exposure
When financial data is available, a summary shows your Low, Expected, and High ALE estimates side by side. This is a compact version of the full model — click Full model to see the detailed breakdown.Policy posture
Shows your policy health score out of 100, alongside counts for active policies, policies overdue for review, policies expiring soon, and active policies missing evidence. Click View Policies to manage them.Quick actions
