Dashboard Widgets

The Cert-IX dashboard is built from widgets — self-contained panels you arrange to put the security information most relevant to your role front and centre. This page explains what a widget is, which widgets are available and what real capability each one draws from, and how to compose and save your own layout.

What a widget is

A widget is a live view bound to a specific data source in your Cert-IX workspace. Rather than being a static tile, each widget reads from the same underlying capability you can open in full elsewhere in the platform — the security-score rollup, your vulnerability findings, your asset inventory, compliance tracking, or scan activity — and renders a focused summary of it. Selecting or drilling into most widgets takes you to that capability's full page.

Two behaviours follow from this binding and are worth understanding up front:

• Tenant-scoped. Every widget reflects only your own organization's data. What an individual user sees within that data is further governed by their role, so a widget never surfaces assets, findings, or scans that a user is not permitted to view.
• Current, not manual. Widgets update as their underlying data changes — an asset widget reflects new information as scanner agents report in, and a vulnerability widget reflects new results as scans are processed — rather than requiring you to reload the page. Some widgets summarise a point-in-time snapshot (for example, a current score), while others plot change over a time range you choose.

Available widgets

Widgets are grouped by the capability they draw from. The exact set available to you depends on your plan (Free, Starter, Pro) and on which capabilities are enabled for your organization.

Security posture

Widget	What it shows
Security Score	Your current posture score (0–100), the trend direction since the last computation, and the qualitative band it falls into. The score is a derived rollup, not a raw count — see Security Score for how it is calculated.

Vulnerability widgets

These widgets summarise the findings produced by Cert-IX vulnerability scanning and rank them by severity. Open Vulnerability Management for the full finding list, prioritization, and remediation guidance.

Widget	What it shows
Vulnerabilities by Severity	A breakdown of open findings across the Critical, High, Medium, and Low severity levels. Selecting a segment drills into the matching findings.
Vulnerability Trend	New versus resolved findings over a selected time range, so you can see whether your open-finding backlog is growing or shrinking.
Top Affected Assets	The assets carrying the most — or most severe — open findings, as a shortlist of where remediation effort will have the greatest impact.

Asset widgets

These widgets summarise the inventory discovered by your scanner agents and connected sources. Open Asset Management to browse the full inventory.

Widget	What it shows
Asset Inventory	The total number of tracked assets with a breakdown by type — devices, cloud resources, software, and network assets.
Recent Asset Changes	Newly discovered or modified assets reported by scanner agents, including what changed and when.

Compliance widgets

Beta

Compliance is a Beta capability. These widgets, and the frameworks they track, are still rolling out and may change.

Compliance widgets track your progress against the frameworks Cert-IX helps you manage — NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CIS Controls, NIS2, and custom frameworks. Open Compliance for the full picture.

Widget	What it shows
Framework Status	Progress toward each framework you are tracking, at a glance.
Control Gaps	Outstanding requirements or controls that still need attention.

Scan activity widgets

These widgets surface recent scanning activity. Scans run asynchronously and move through queued, running, and completed states — the same lifecycle exposed through the Scan API.

Widget	What it shows
Scan Activity	Recent scans and their current state, so you can confirm work is progressing and spot failures quickly.
Scan Volume	Scans run over a selected time range, giving a sense of coverage cadence.

Configuring a widget

Most widgets expose a small set of options so you can tailor what they show. The exact options depend on the widget — not every widget offers all of them:

• Title — override the default label with something meaningful to your team.
• Time range — for widgets that plot change over time, the period to display.
• Filters — narrow the view, for example by severity, asset type, or framework.
• Display — where a widget supports more than one presentation, choose the one that reads best for your layout.

astuce

Give trend and volume widgets a wider column so their time axis stays readable, and keep single-value widgets such as the security score compact. Denser data benefits from more room.

Arranging your dashboard

Open the dashboard's edit mode to change its composition. While editing, you can:

• Add a widget from the widget catalogue.
• Remove a widget you no longer need.
• Reposition a widget by dragging it; the surrounding grid reflows to make space.
• Resize a widget to give the ones you rely on most more room.

Apply your changes to leave edit mode. There is no need to rebuild the layout each visit — it is remembered for you.

Saved layouts

Your arrangement is saved per user within your organization's workspace. Each member can tailor the dashboard to their own role and responsibilities without affecting anyone else's view, and your layout persists across sessions and devices.

remarque

Layouts follow the same tenant boundary as the widgets themselves: they are stored against your account inside your organization and are never shared across organizations.
