Goals Dashboard
Control & DirectionThe Goals Dashboard provides an aggregated view of goal health across all three tiers of the goal hierarchy. It surfaces summary statistics and status breakdowns for CISO Goals, Team Goals, and Individual Goals in a single view, giving security leaders immediate visibility into whether the program is delivering on its strategic commitments.
The Goals Dashboard reflects data from CISO Goals, Team Goals, and Individual Goals. Goals are linked to strategies defined in Security Direction.
Navigating to the dashboard
Navigate to Objectives & Outcomes > Goals Dashboard. The dashboard loads with all three stats bars visible, providing an at-a-glance summary without requiring any configuration.
CISO Goals stats bar
The CISO Goals Stats Bar displays the total number of CISO-level goals and their distribution across statuses. Each status — Not Started, In Progress, On Track, At Risk, Completed, and Cancelled — is shown with a count so leadership can quickly identify how many strategic objectives are progressing as expected versus how many need attention.
Use this section to answer questions like: How many of our board-level commitments are on track? Are any strategic goals at risk of missing their target dates?
Team Goals stats bar
The Team Goals Stats Bar shows the same status breakdown for team-level goals. Because Team Goals cascade from CISO Goals, this section reveals whether teams are keeping pace with the strategic objectives assigned to them.
A high count of At Risk or Not Started team goals beneath an On Track CISO goal may indicate a disconnect between leadership expectations and team execution.
Individual Goals stats bar
The Individual Goals Stats Bar provides a status summary for individual contributor goals. This section is useful for understanding whether personal contributions are aligned with team deliverables and whether individuals have clarity on their security-related responsibilities.
Reading the dashboard
The dashboard is designed for quick pattern recognition. Look for the following signals:
| Signal | What it means |
|---|---|
| High percentage of On Track and Completed across all tiers | The program is executing well against its objectives |
| CISO Goals on track but Team Goals lagging | Strategic intent is clear but team execution may need support |
| Many goals in Not Started | Planning may be ahead of execution, or goals need to be activated |
| Goals marked At Risk at any level | Investigate blockers and consider reallocating resources or adjusting timelines |
| Individual Goals misaligned with Team Goals | Cascading may need reinforcement through team leads |
The dashboard updates in real time as goal statuses change across the platform, so it always reflects the current state of the security program.
Permissions
Viewing the Goals Dashboard requires the goals:read permission. Users with this permission can see aggregated statistics across all three goal levels. Managing individual goals at each tier requires the corresponding write permissions described in the CISO Goals, Team Goals, and Individual Goals pages.
