Metrics and measurement
The Panaseer platform automates measurement of security metrics, removing the manual effort from your security reporting and helping you to proactively improve security posture.
Measure and improve your cybersecurity posture
Automated security metrics give you a continuous view of your security posture based on accurate and trusted evidence. You can use Panaseer to power your security measurement program, delivering quantifiable insights daily to help you tell compelling cybersecurity stories.
Communicate security posture to stakeholders in business language.
Educate business stakeholders and improve accountability for cyber risk within the business.
Provide context around security performance, such as how your security posture compares to peer organizations.
Understand the root cause of security issues and identify processes that can be improved.
Prioritize security remediation based on business criticality, allowing you to take the next best action to reduce risk.
Metrics Catalog
We have hundreds of out-of-the-box security metrics, with thousands of permutations. Panaseer's metric catalog details all pre-packaged best practice metrics available to users.
These metrics are the building blocks for a range of visualizations and dashboards. They provide actionable insight across ten cyber control domains. They can be configured to your policies and aligned to recognized security standards and frameworks.
Users can explore combinations of metrics developed for specific use cases, such as a new measurement program, ransomware, or cyber insurance.
Types of metrics
Informational
Understand your security posture with straightforward counts and sums.
For example, the total number of devices in your organization’s environment.
Policy
Track adherence to policies and standards, whether internal or regulatory.
Codify “what good looks like” into your metrics, showing whether you’re hitting thresholds with a RAG system.
Coverage
Ensure tools and controls are deployed as expected and provide essential context for other metrics.
Answer questions like: “Do all our assets have endpoint protection?”
Diagnostic
Provide actionable insight, narrow down the root cause, and take the next best action to reduce risk.
Use phishing test results combined with contextual data, for example, to identify which groups of employees to prioritize for training.
