Compliance Dashboard

Your compliance home base — see where your program stands and what needs your attention, tailored to your role

Written By Micah

Your Compliance Dashboard is the first thing you see when you log in to Strike Graph, and it's designed to answer two questions at a glance: How is our compliance program doing? and What do I need to work on next?

Rather than showing everyone the same generic screen, the dashboard adapts to your role. Managers get a program-wide, team-level view for steering the whole compliance effort, while Contributors get a focused view of the controls and evidence assigned to them. That means less time hunting for what's relevant to you, and more time spent on the work that moves your program forward.

How the dashboard adapts to your role

The Compliance Dashboard automatically adjusts based on the role you've been assigned in Strike Graph. You don't need to toggle anything or change a setting — when you open the dashboard, Strike Graph shows the layout that fits how you work.

  • If you're a Manager, you'll see program-wide and team-level widgets that help you monitor overall compliance posture and keep your team on track.

  • If you're a Contributor (or another non-manager role), you'll see personalized widgets focused on the controls and evidence assigned to you.

A few widgets appear for everyone, regardless of role. The sections below walk through what's shared, what's unique to the Manager view, and what's unique to the Contributor view.

What everyone sees

No matter your role, the top of your dashboard and the side column stay consistent so that the most universally useful information is always in reach.

Framework Progress

Running across the top of the dashboard, the Framework Progress strip gives you a quick read on how far along each of your active frameworks is. Each framework gets its own card showing a completion percentage and a progress bar. If you have several frameworks, you can scroll the strip horizontally to see them all.

The percentage reflects how many of your in-scope criteria are satisfied versus how many still need attention, so a higher number means you're closer to a fully covered framework. If you haven't activated any frameworks yet, this area will let you know there are no active frameworks to display.

Open Action Items

The Open Action Items widget lists your action items that are still open or in progress, sorted so the most time-sensitive work rises to the top. Each item shows its status, priority, and due date, and clicking an item takes you straight to its detail page. Use the View all link to jump to the full Action Items list with the view already filtered to you. When you've cleared your open items, the widget will let you know you're all caught up.

Comment Activity

If your organization uses Comment Activity, a Comment Activity widget appears in the side column so you can stay on top of conversations without leaving the dashboard. It surfaces:

  • Assigned to you — comment threads that have been assigned to you and are still open.

  • Recent — recent comments on items you're involved with, or comments that mention you.

Clicking a comment takes you to the related item's detail page. Managers may also see a View all link that opens the full Comment Activity view for a complete history across the compliance instance.

The Manager view

Managers are responsible for the health of the whole program and the workload of the whole team, so the Manager view trades individual to-do lists for org-wide and team-level insight.

Control Health

The Control Health widget shows how your controls are trending over the last 90 days. At a glance you'll see:

  • Total controls — the number of active controls in your program.

  • Healthy — the percentage of your controls that are currently in a healthy state.

  • Last 90 days — whether your control health is improving, holding steady, or declining over the period.

An accompanying area chart plots the percentage of healthy controls over time. The trend line is shown in green when things are improving and red when they're declining, so the direction of travel is easy to spot.

Below the chart, the Control status by framework breakdown splits your controls framework by framework, showing how many are healthy versus how many need attention for each. Hover over any segment to see the exact counts. This makes it easy to identify which framework needs the most attention. If there isn't enough history yet, the widget will note that no snapshot history is available.

Evidence Expiration Schedule

The Evidence Expiration Schedule gives Managers a team-wide view of upcoming evidence expirations so nothing slips through the cracks. Evidence is organized into columns by urgency:

  • Overdue — evidence that has already expired.

  • This week — evidence expiring within the coming week.

  • This month — evidence expiring within the coming month.

  • Later — evidence with expirations further out.

  • Needs attachments — evidence that doesn't have an attachment yet.

The schedule includes a dedicated Automated collections lane for evidence that Strike Graph re-collects on its own, plus a row for each evidence owner on your team (with the owners carrying the most overdue evidence surfaced first). Each cell shows a count, and clicking a count opens the Evidence Repository already filtered to that owner and urgency bucket — a fast way to follow up with a teammate or dig into a specific batch of expiring evidence. Use View all to open the full Evidence Repository.

The Contributor view

Contributors are focused on completing their own assigned work, so the Contributor view zeroes in on the controls and evidence that belong to you.

Your Controls

The Your Controls widget summarizes the controls assigned to you. A Healthy percentage tells you what share of your controls are in good standing, color-coded so you can gauge your status quickly — red when a smaller portion is healthy, yellow in the middle range, and green when most of your controls are healthy.

Beneath the percentage, a heat strip displays each of your controls as an individual square, colored by its progress. Hover over a square to see details about that control, and use the legend to interpret the colors. Select View all to open the Control Library filtered to the controls you own. If you don't have any controls assigned, the widget will let you know.

Your Evidence

The Your Evidence widget lays out the evidence assigned to you, grouped by how soon it expires. A stacked bar and legend at the top summarize your evidence across the same urgency buckets used elsewhere in the dashboard: Overdue, This week, This month, Later, and Needs attachments.

Below the summary, your evidence items are listed in order of urgency, with the most pressing items first. Each item links to its evidence detail page, and any evidence set up for automated collection is marked with an Automated badge. Longer lists are trimmed to keep things scannable, with a Show more option to expand the full list. A footer keeps a running tally of your total assigned evidence and how much of it is automated, along with a View all link into the Evidence Repository filtered to you.

The Enterprise Dashboard: rolling up multiple organizations

If your company runs more than one compliance program in Strike Graph, the Enterprise Dashboard gives you one screen that rolls up compliance health across all of them. Instead of signing into each organization one at a time to check on it, you get a card for every organization in your enterprise, each summarizing framework progress, control health, and evidence expiration.

Enterprise organizations in Strike Graph are structured as one primary organization with one or more subsidiary organizations linked to it. The Enterprise Dashboard reports on the primary organization and every active subsidiary together.

Who can access the Enterprise Dashboard

The Enterprise Dashboard appears when all of the following are true:

  • Your organization has Enterprise Content Management enabled, along with the new Compliance Dashboard.

  • The primary organization has at least one active subsidiary organization linked to it.

  • You have the Manager role in the primary organization.

If you'd like Enterprise Content Management turned on for your organizations, reach out to your Customer Success Manager.

Opening the Enterprise Dashboard

Look for the Enterprise Dashboard button at the bottom of the left navigation menu, next to the settings and log out buttons. Selecting it opens the Enterprise Dashboard for the primary organization you manage.

The button is available from anywhere in the enterprise, not only from the primary organization. If you're signed into a subsidiary organization and you're also a Manager in its primary organization, the button still appears and takes you to the enterprise view.

What each organization card shows

Every organization in the enterprise gets its own card, and the primary organization is labeled with a Primary tag so it's easy to distinguish from its subsidiaries. Each card carries three sections, calculated the same way as the matching widgets on the individual Compliance Dashboard:

  • Framework Progress: a row for each of that organization's active frameworks, with a progress bar and completion percentage based on how many of its in-scope criteria are satisfied. Hover over a framework's name to see its full title.

  • Control Health: the organization's Total controls, the percentage of those controls that are Healthy today, and the change in that percentage over the Last 90 days, alongside an area chart of the trend. Hover over the statistics to see the underlying counts and the dates being compared.

  • Evidence Expiration: a single bar breaking the organization's evidence into Expired, This week, 30 days, Later, and Needs attachment, with the Automated share of each group marked inside it. Hover over any part of the bar for exact counts.

Selecting a card opens that organization's own Compliance Dashboard, so you can move from the enterprise-level summary straight into the details of whichever organization needs attention.

Sections load independently, so parts of a card may still be loading while the rest is ready. If an organization hasn't set anything up yet, the relevant section says so instead of showing an empty chart.

Finding an organization on the Enterprise Dashboard

Enterprises with a long list of organizations can use the toolbar above the cards to narrow things down:

  • Search organizations by name: filters the cards as you type.

  • Sort by: order the cards by Date created, Last logged in, Alphabetical, or Control health. Use the sort button next to the menu to reverse the direction.

  • Pin: keeps the primary organization's card first, ahead of the sorted subsidiaries. Pinning is on by default. Turn it off and the primary organization sorts in among the others.

Sorting by Control health is a practical way to see which organizations are furthest behind. Your search, sort, and pin choices are saved, so the dashboard comes back the way you left it the next time you open it.

Switching between enterprises

If you're a Manager in more than one primary organization, an enterprise selector appears in the top bar of the Enterprise Dashboard. Choose a different enterprise from the menu to load its organization cards. The selector is hidden when you only manage one enterprise.

Tips for getting the most from your dashboard

  • Start with the top strip. Framework Progress is the fastest way to see whether your program is on track before you drill into specifics.

  • Work top to bottom by urgency. Both the Manager and Contributor views surface the most time-sensitive work first, so following the order shown is usually the most efficient way to prioritize.

  • Use the links. Nearly every widget links directly into the relevant area of Strike Graph — the Control Library, Evidence Repository, Action Items, and more — with filters already applied, so you can act without re-searching.

  • Lean on automation. The Automated indicators in the evidence widgets show where Strike Graph is already re-collecting evidence for you, so you can concentrate your effort on the items that need a human touch.
