Check your compliance with standards

The platform offers a comprehensive view of how well your organization and individual groups are meeting various international cybersecurity standards, as validated by Fluid Attacks. You can find this information in Compliance, which offers two sections:
  1. Overview: Provides a high-level summary of your overall compliance posture and allows benchmarking it against other organizations
  2. Standards: Lets you drill down into unfulfilled standards in per group and generate detailed reports on any gaps that need to be addressed

Across Compliance, a header provides the following information:

  1. Compliance level: The percentage corresponding to fulfillment of security requirements within standards
  2. Weekly trend:  The change in compliance during the last week represented as a percentage
  3. ET to full compliance: A projection of the amount of days it might take to address all noncompliance issues, achieving a 100% compliance level
  4. Standard least complied with: The name of the specific standard where your organization is struggling the most
  5. Lowest % compliance: The percentage of fulfilled requirements associated to the standard you comply with the least
