Dashboards & Analytics

Use module dashboards and cross-module views to understand posture, deadlines, high exposure, assurance gaps and workload.

From summary metric to accountable action

PurpleWASP analytics surface the state of the underlying operational workspaces; they do not replace the source records or their decisions.

Important operating rules

A dashboard should lead back to the source record

Use metrics as operational signals. The underlying workspace remains authoritative for applicability, Risk, Control effectiveness, tiering, certification evidence and other governed conclusions.

  • Validate filters and reporting period before comparing values.
  • Do not interpret totals without understanding scope and denominator.
  • Use trends and overdue work to identify deterioration or stalled ownership.
  • Follow scores back to the records, evidence and decisions that produced them; use Drivers / Improve Score where available instead of interpreting a percentage in isolation.
