The Executive Report is a structured PDF that summarizes your organization’s ISO 27001 compliance posture. It is designed for audiences who need a high-level view of ISMS performance without navigating the full dashboard — board members, senior leadership, and external stakeholders.

When to use this report

  • Management reviews — ISO 27001 clause 9.3 requires periodic management reviews of the ISMS. The Executive Report provides the structured input management needs.
  • Board presentations — Communicate risk posture and control maturity to non-technical decision-makers.
  • Audit preparation — Give an external auditor a snapshot of current compliance status before a certification or surveillance audit.
  • Client reporting — If you are an agency managing a client’s ISMS, share progress against their ISO 27001 program.

What the report includes

The Executive Report is a multi-page PDF with the following sections:

Executive summary

A single-page overview containing:
  • Global compliance % — Overall adherence across clauses 4–10
  • Annex A maturity score — Percentage of applicable controls that are implemented
  • Implemented controls — Count of controls marked as implemented out of total applicable controls

Clause-by-clause progress table

A table listing each ISO 27001 clause (4 through 10) with:
  • Clause ID and name
  • Compliance progress percentage
  • Maturity level (0–5 scale)

Domain progress breakdown

Annex A controls are grouped into domains (e.g., Organizational controls, People controls, Physical controls, Technological controls). This section shows:
  • Domain name
  • Domain maturity score
  • Total number of controls in the domain

Open findings summary

A list of all findings that are currently open, providing leadership with visibility into active gaps and non-conformities.

Critical findings highlight

A dedicated section for major non-conformities — findings classified as critical. These are called out separately to ensure they receive appropriate management attention.
