Improve Posture North Star Metrics

Programs are guided by two key metrics:

  • Posture Passing Score: Percentage of controls passed across your infrastructure.
  • High-Severity Passing Score: Percentage of high-severity controls passed.

These metrics highlight security maturity and provide benchmarks for progress.

For details on how these metrics are calculated and monitored, see Posture Overview.

Use Case

As a Posture Program Owner, you want to improve posture metrics by focusing on the most critical misconfigurations and implementing best practices to enhance security posture.

Identify and Remediate Critical Misconfigurations

Posture Programs highlight resources failing multiple or high-severity controls so you can prioritize remediation of the riskiest issues.

The Dashboard includes widgets that surface weak controls and vulnerable resources by category and platform. See Posture Overview for a breakdown of available widgets.

Use Case

As a Posture Program Owner, you want to identify resources failing multiple or high-severity controls so you can focus on the riskiest misconfigurations first.

Understand and Mitigate Security Risks Across the Infrastructure

Risks can be segmented by zones (for example, development, staging, production), enabling you to focus remediation on the most critical environments first.

Zone comparison widgets show posture gaps and improvement trends. See Posture Overview for details.

Use Case

As a Posture Program Owner, you want to separate risks by zones, so you can focus on the highest-priority environments first.

Trend charts show posture scores over time and provide breakdowns by severity, enabling you to measure the impact of remediation efforts and demonstrate progress to stakeholders.

Trend charts are provided to show posture score improvements and breakdowns by severity.
See Posture Overview and Posture Findings for reporting and analysis.

Use Case

As a Posture Program Owner, you want to track posture trends over time to validate that remediation efforts reduce risks effectively.
