Dashboard

The Dashboard is the starting screen of Security Hero RMF, collecting the results of your last synchronization and risk assessment in one place.

Use the risk score, asset scan summary, risk distribution, and recent assessment results to quickly understand where your cloud environment stood when those runs finished.

Data Refresh

Dashboard data is updated when the following actions are performed:

  • Asset Synchronization is run
  • Risk Assessment is run

Run an asset sync or risk assessment to see the latest security status.

The dashboard is organized into the following sections:

  • Security Status Summary (KPIs) – Overall Risk Score and key metrics
  • Risk & Asset Distribution Charts – Asset risk levels and distribution by service
  • Operations Panel – Assessment history, critical findings, and recent activity

1. Security Status Summary​

Dashboard KPI cards and charts

1.1. Key KPI Cards​

The cards at the top give you an at-a-glance view of your current security status.

  • Risk Score: A score (0–100) and rating label computed from the severity mix of the findings in the latest risk assessment

    A higher score means more risk. 70 and above is labelled High Risk, 40 and above Moderate, below that Low Risk. It is a risk indicator, not a compliance pass rate.

  • Resources Scanned: The total number of resources included in the most recent asset sync and risk assessment
  • Last Scan: The timestamp of the last completed risk assessment
  • Assets At Risk: The number of resources for which risk findings were identified in the assessment

1.2. Asset Risk Breakdown​

Visualizes the distribution of asset risk levels. Shows how your assets are spread across risk levels so you can see which risk grades are most prevalent.

  • Displays the number of assets per risk level (Very High, High, Moderate, Low, Very Low).
  • Toggle between Bar and Donut views to see the same data in different formats.

1.3. Assets by Service​

Visualizes the proportion of assets by service type. This lets you see whether assets are concentrated in a particular AWS service.

2. Risk/Asset Distribution Charts & Operations Status​

Dashboard assessment history and recent activity

2.1. Assessment History​

A quick summary of past risk assessment runs.

  • Scan ID
  • Date
  • Status (e.g., Completed, Failed)
  • Action (View)

The trend chart above the table plots the risk score (0–100, higher is worse) of each completed assessment over time. Assessments with no score — runs that produced no scored finding — are left out of the line, and the chart says how many were left out.

2.2. Quick Actions​

Jump directly to frequently used features without navigating through the sidebar.

  • Run Assessment
  • View Assets
  • Generate Report
  • Sync Assets

2.3. Critical & High Risk Findings​

Surfaces the most important findings at Critical/High severity levels from your scan results. This helps you quickly identify security issues that require immediate attention.

2.4. Recent Activity​

A timeline of recently performed actions. View system activities such as asset synchronization and risk assessment runs in chronological order.

3. How to Use the Dashboard​

The dashboard lets you quickly perform the following tasks:

  • Get an immediate read, via KPIs and charts, on where things stood at the last run (run a sync or an assessment again to refresh the numbers)
  • Prioritize your response by reviewing Critical/High Findings first
  • Track operational history through Assessment History and Recent Activity
  • Access key security workflows quickly using Quick Actions
