Step 1

Open the overview

Choose Dashboard → Overview to see organization level compliance and the latest summaries for each security control.

Step 2

Explore a control

Select a metric card to open its breakdown. Use the control link in the detail panel to review endpoint level evidence and findings.

Step 3

Review vulnerability analytics

Open Analytics → Security Posture to filter software findings by tenant, endpoint status, operating system, architecture, severity, CVSS score, and CVE.

Step 4

Audit cloud security posture

Navigate to Analytics → Security Posture or Dashboard → Risk Insights to audit AWS across 13 controls and Microsoft Entra ID across 12 controls against ACSC Essential Eight maturity levels, with one-click executive PDF exports.

Step 5

Understand maturity values

Maturity badges summarize the control compliance percentage. Use the detailed control page to review the source values before planning remediation.

Step 6

Track compliance & maturity trends

Open Analytics → Compliance Trends to analyze compliance velocity across 7D to 180D horizons, track per-strategy score deltas against the ACSC ML2 (85%) target, and review audit milestones.

Step 7

Generate audit reports & disclosures

Navigate to Analytics → Reports to generate audit-ready documentation across 5 pre-configured templates, preview findings in real time, and download executive summaries in PDF, CSV, or JSON.

Step 8

Review licensing prerequisites

When cloud telemetry requires higher tier subscriptions (such as Entra ID P1/P2 or AWS GuardDuty), view highlighted tier-gated controls and actionable prerequisite guidance without treating missing tiers as control failures.
