Comprehensive analysis of security operations performance focusing on incident management, vulnerability trends, and compliance status to maintain strong security posture and identify areas for improvement.
Report Objective
Track and analyze key security metrics across incident response, vulnerability management, and compliance to ensure robust security posture and identify emerging risks or trends that require attention.
Security Incident Trends
Line chart showing weekly security incident volume with incident severity breakdown
Questions to Consider:
How has the volume and severity of security incidents evolved over the quarter?
What is the trend in mean time to resolution for different severity levels?
Are there patterns in incident types that could inform preventive measures?
What is the week-over-week trend in total incident volume?
How is the distribution of incident severity changing?
Are there any notable spikes in specific severity levels?
Are we meeting our resolution time SLAs?
Which severity levels show the most variation in resolution time?
What factors contribute to longer resolution times?
Vulnerability Management
Bar chart displaying open vulnerabilities by risk level and remediation rates
Questions to Consider:
What is the current vulnerability backlog and how has it changed?
Are we meeting our remediation SLAs for different risk levels?
Which systems or areas show persistent vulnerability patterns?
How is our vulnerability backlog trending?
What is the distribution of vulnerabilities by risk level?
Are we effectively prioritizing high-risk vulnerabilities?
Are we meeting our remediation rate targets?
Which risk levels show the best remediation performance?
What factors impact remediation effectiveness?
Compliance and Policy Adherence
Line chart tracking compliance scores and policy violations
Questions to Consider:
How stable is our compliance posture across different control areas?
What types of policy violations are most common?
Are there specific departments or systems with recurring compliance issues?
Is our compliance score trending in the right direction?
How do policy violations correlate with compliance scores?
Which compliance controls need the most attention?
Areas for Strategic Focus
Evaluate effectiveness of incident response procedures based on resolution time trends
Review vulnerability management program efficiency and resource allocation
Assess impact of security awareness training on policy violation rates
Analyze patterns in recurring incidents to strengthen preventive controls
Review and update security policies based on observed compliance challenges
Evaluate need for additional security tools or automation
Consider improvements to security monitoring and detection capabilities
