**1. Control Overview**

The **Control Overview** provides a high-level snapshot of control implementation status. This widget shows the total number of mapped controls, how many have been implemented, and the improvement over time based on score differences.

- **Controls Implemented:** The number of controls actively implemented, reflecting actual progress toward meeting compliance requirements.
- **Score Difference:** The percentage improvement in overall control maturity or coverage compared to a previous baseline. A higher value indicates better progress.

Clicking the **Control Overview** opens a detailed window displaying control progress and performance. The **eye icon** redirects you to the blueprints section related to that control. This window also highlights the score difference and includes widgets showing the number of controls implemented and those yet to be implemented.

2\. Framework Overview

The **Framework Overview** tracks how blueprint efforts translate into framework alignment. This widget displays the total number of cybersecurity frameworks in the system, the number applicable to current blueprints, and the progress made.

- **Frameworks Applicable:** Cybersecurity frameworks where at least one mapped control has been implemented, indicating measurable progress toward framework readiness.
- **Score Difference:** The improvement in overall framework alignment based on recent blueprint activities. A higher percentage reflects broader compliance coverage across supported frameworks.

Clicking the **Framework Overview** opens a window that tracks implementation progress and measures readiness. This window also displays the score difference and the applicable frameworks progressing toward compliance. Additionally, it shows how many controls have been implemented and those yet to be implemented.

<p class="callout info">****Note:** The Privacy Framework functions similarly to the Security Framework. It displays the framework, controls implemented, and readiness. The eye icon can also be clicked to access additional details.**</p>

3\. Blueprint Engagement Tracker

Clients can track blueprint efforts and their alignment with frameworks using this widget. It displays the total number of cybersecurity frameworks in the system, how many are applicable to the current blueprints, and the progress made.

- **Blueprints:** The total number of compliance blueprints available in the **Unified Compliance Blueprint (UCB)** library. These serve as structured guides aligning controls with various cybersecurity frameworks.
- **Active Blueprints:** Blueprints that are currently engaged with, containing controls that have been implemented or mapped to ongoing compliance efforts.

Clicking on **Blueprints** opens a window showing **Mapped Control Maturity by Blueprints**, which tracks blueprint completion rates and monitors the latest updates on client compliance goals. Users can search blueprints and apply three available filters. Clicking on **Active Blueprints** redirects the client to the blueprint module section.

<p class="callout info">**Note: Pressing the active blueprints button in the blueprint engagement tracker shows the same window.**</p>

<p class="callout success">**To navigate to the Blueprints sub-module, click the left-side panel where Cyber Compliance is located, then hover over Unified Compliance Blueprints. Cyber Compliance (Domain) → Unified Compliance Blueprints (Module) → Blueprints (Sub-module).**</p>

##### <span style="color: rgb(53, 152, 219);">**Blueprints**</span>

This is where you can monitor your blueprints and ensure compliance with various security standards. The dashboard provides an overview of control effectiveness across different domains, showing the number of implemented controls out of the total available for each domain. You can use the search bar (1) to quickly find specific domains or controls, and the filter drop-down (2) to view blueprints based on their status, such as active or inactive. Each domain card displays a control effectiveness gauge, color-coded to indicate performance levels from “Very Low” to “Good.” By clicking the **View Domain** button (3), you can dive deeper into detailed progress, assess control maturity, and manage compliance efforts more effectively.

1\. Domain Details

This section provides a comprehensive overview of the selected blueprint domain. It includes a description of the domain’s objectives and the overall effectiveness of controls, represented by a control effectiveness gauge. You can also see the total number of implemented controls out of the total available. Additionally, this section displays the distribution of compliance requirements across all sub-domains within the domain, categorized by their status such as **Continuously Improving**, **Quantitatively Controlled**, **Well Defined**, **Planned &amp; Tracked**, **Performed Informally**, or **Not Performed**.

2\. Controls

Each control within the domain is listed below with its description and the number of mapped frameworks it applies to. Controls are individual elements that must be addressed to meet compliance standards. Each control also has a maturity rank, reflecting the level of implementation and effectiveness based on the Mapped Control Maturity model.

3\. View Details

By clicking the **View Details** button on any control, users can access more in-depth information, including detailed control descriptions and specific control questions. These questions help determine whether the control is applicable to the organization. Users can also attach evidence to demonstrate compliance. The page shows which frameworks are mapped to this control and how progress on the control contributes to the organization’s readiness score within each framework. This helps track compliance maturity and readiness levels effectively.
