Key Features:

  • Control Overview
  • Framework Overview
  • Blueprint Engagement Tracker
  • Mapped Control Maturity by Blueprints
  • Framework Readiness
  • Activity Feed

To navigate to Unified Compliance Blueprint module, please follow the instructions below:

1. Control Overview

A high-level view of your control implementation status. This widget displays the total number of mapped controls, how many have been implemented, and your improvement over time based on the score difference.

    • Controls Implemented - This is the number of controls you've actively implemented. It reflects real action taken toward meeting compliance requirements.
    • Score Difference - Indicates the percentage improvement in your overall control maturity or coverage compared to a previous baseline. A higher value means better progress in implementing controls.

By Pressing the Control Overview, it will open up a window that shows control progress and its performance. You can also press the eye icon to be redirected in the blueprints section of that control. This window also shows score difference and widget of how many controls are implemented and to be implemented.

Note: Controls Implemented is the same as To be Implemented, both shows Control, Domains and Control Rank.

If you press the eye icon this will be the page you will be redirected to.

2. Framework Overview

Track how your blueprint efforts translate to framework alignment. This widget shows the total cybersecurity frameworks in the system, how many are applicable to your current blueprints, and how much progress you've made.

    • Frameworks Applicable - These are the cybersecurity frameworks where at least one mapped control has been implemented. This indicates measurable progress toward framework readiness.
    • Score Difference - Represents the improvement in overall framework alignment based on your recent blueprint activities. A higher percentage means broader compliance coverage across supported frameworks.

By pressing the Framework Overview, it will show a window that tracks implementation progress and measure its readiness. This window also shows the score difference and progressing frameworks that are applicable to the blueprint.

You can also edit and add a standard control for this framework.

3. Blueprint Engagement Tracker

Track how your blueprint efforts translate to framework alignment. This widget shows the total cybersecurity frameworks in the system, how many are applicable to your current blueprints, and how much progress you've made.

    • Blueprints - This represents the total number of compliance blueprints available in the UCB library. These serve as structured guides that align your controls with various cybersecurity frameworks.
    • Active Blueprints - These are the blueprints you've engaged with—meaning they contain controls that have been implemented or mapped to your current compliance progress.

4. Mapped Control Maturity by Blueprints:

Understand the maturity of your controls across various blueprint domains. Each bar is color coded to represent control rankings, from "Not Performed" to "Continuously Improving," helping you identify areas that require attention.

  • Not Performed
  • Performed Informally 
  • Planned & Tracked 
  • Well Defined 
  • Quantitatively Controlled
  • Continuously Improving
    • Search 🔍 - Search your blueprint
    • Filter ᯤ - Blueprint filter
    • Filter Options
      • Filter by
        • Non-Compliant
        • Fully Compliant
        • Partially Compliant
        • Mostly Compliant

5. Framework Readiness

  • Shows top 5 of your framework readiness to quickly assess your compliance progress across the top five most relevant frameworks. This widget displays each framework’s overall completion percentage and highlights any recent improvements.

6. Activity Feed

  • Keep track of recent actions and collaboration. This feed logs evidence uploads and blueprint activity, helping you monitor contributions, maintain audit trails, and stay informed about compliance progress.

To navigate to Blueprints sub-module click the left side panel again where you click Cyber Compliance and hover your mouse to Unified Compliance Blueprints. Cyber Compliance (Domain) -> Unified Compliance Blueprint (Module) -> Blueprints (Sub Module).

Blueprints

Outlines and monitors key controls to maintain security and meet compliance standards.
