The Security Metrics dashboard consolidates compliance and risk data from across ISOwl into a single view. It is the primary tool for tracking your organization’s ISO 27001 posture over time.

KPI cards

Six KPI cards at the top of the page give you an at-a-glance summary of your program health:

Cumplimiento Global

ISO 27001 Cl. 4–10 overall compliance percentage. Reflects how many requirements across all clauses are in an implemented or in-progress state.

Madurez Anexo A

Annex A control maturity percentage. Shows how many of the applicable Annex A controls have been implemented out of the total applicable controls.

Efectividad Controles

Control effectiveness percentage. Ratio of implemented controls to applicable controls across the entire control set.

Tasa de Cierre

Findings closure rate percentage. Ratio of closed findings to the total number of registered findings.

Hallazgos Vencidos

Overdue open findings count. Number of findings with a past due date that are still in Abierto status.

Base Documental

Total document count. Number of records in the Evidence & Document Library.
Aim to keep Hallazgos Vencidos at zero. Overdue findings indicate corrective actions that have slipped past their committed deadlines.

Charts and visualizations

Below the KPI cards, five charts provide deeper insight into different dimensions of your ISO 27001 program.

Domain progress — bar chart

Shows the percentage of controls implemented across the four Annex A control domains:
DomainDescription
OrganizacionalesOrganizational controls (policies, roles, processes)
PersonasPeople controls (training, awareness, HR security)
FísicosPhysical controls (access, environmental protection)
TecnológicosTechnological controls (encryption, access management, monitoring)

Clause compliance — radar chart

Displays compliance levels for each ISO 27001 main clause (Cl. 4 through Cl. 10) on a radar chart. This allows you to quickly identify which clauses have gaps and where to focus improvement efforts.

Clause 4

Context of the organization

Clause 5

Leadership

Clause 6

Planning

Clause 7

Support

Clause 8

Operation

Clause 9

Performance evaluation

Clause 10

Improvement

Controls by status — pie chart

Breaks down all controls by their current implementation status:
StatusMeaning
ImplementadoControl is fully implemented and operating
En ProgresoImplementation is underway
No EvaluadoControl has not yet been assessed
No AplicaControl has been formally excluded as not applicable

Findings by type — pie chart

Shows the distribution of all registered findings by type:
  • NC Mayor (Major Non-Conformity)
  • NC Menor (Minor Non-Conformity)
  • Observación (Observation)
  • OFI (Opportunity for Improvement)
A high proportion of NC Mayor findings signals areas requiring immediate corrective action.

Requirements status — progress bars

Displays the overall completion across three states for all ISO 27001 requirements:
StateDescription
ImplementedRequirements that are fully met
In ProgressRequirements actively being worked on
PendingRequirements not yet started

How metrics are calculated

The overall compliance percentage counts requirements across ISO 27001 Clauses 4 through 10 that are marked Implementado or No aplica as compliant. Formula: (Implementado + No aplica) / total requirements × 100. Requirements En progreso do not contribute to this score.
Calculated as the number of Annex A controls marked Implementado divided by the total number of controls that are not marked No Aplica (not applicable).
Calculated as the number of Implementado controls divided by the total number of applicable controls (excluding No Aplica controls).
Calculated as the number of findings with status Cerrado divided by the total number of findings registered in the Findings module.
A finding is overdue when its Due date has passed and its status is still Abierto. This count updates automatically as dates pass or findings are closed.
A direct count of all records currently stored in the Evidence & Document Library.

Using metrics to drive improvement

1

Review KPIs weekly

Check the six KPI cards at least weekly. Pay particular attention to Hallazgos Vencidos — any overdue finding needs immediate attention.
2

Identify gaps with the radar chart

Use the Clause compliance radar chart to spot which ISO 27001 clauses have the lowest compliance scores. Prioritize work in those areas.
3

Assess domain coverage

Review the Domain progress bar chart to see whether any control domain (Organizacionales, Personas, Físicos, Tecnológicos) is lagging behind the others.
4

Address overdue findings

Navigate to the Findings module and filter for overdue open findings. Update responsible owners and due dates, or escalate as needed.
5

Grow the document library

A low Base Documental count suggests documentary evidence is missing. Add policies, procedures, and records to the Evidence library to support your conformity claims.

Findings & Corrective Actions

Manage the corrective action plans that drive your closure rate and reduce overdue findings.

Evidence & Document Library

Add documentation to increase the Base Documental count and link evidence to specific clauses.

Annex A Controls

Update control statuses to improve Madurez Anexo A and Efectividad Controles metrics.

ISO 27001 Clauses

Update clause requirement statuses to improve Cumplimiento Global and radar chart scores.
