Team Chart
Control & DirectionThe Team Chart provides a hierarchical tree visualization of your entire security organization. It renders the parent-child relationships you define in Team Management as an interactive org chart, giving you a top-down view of how your security teams are structured. Navigate to Operating Model → Team Chart to view the visualization.
The Team Chart reflects teams and hierarchy defined in Team Management. For an individual-level view showing team members and reporting relationships, see the Members Chart.
Chart layout
The chart renders as a top-down tree with the highest-level team (typically the CISO or Information Security function) displayed at the top. Each level of the hierarchy flows downward, with child teams positioned beneath their parent.
CISO card
The root node at the top of the chart represents your top-level security leadership. This card anchors the entire visualization and serves as the starting point for navigating the organizational tree.
Team cards
Each team in the hierarchy is represented by a card displaying key information at a glance:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Team name | The team’s display name |
| Color indicator | The team’s assigned color for visual identification |
| Manager | The name of the assigned team manager, if set |
| Member count | The number of members currently assigned to the team |
| Goal badge | A count of goals linked to this team |
| Project badge | A count of projects assigned to this team |
| Risk badge | A summary of risks associated with this team |
These badges provide a quick health check — you can see at a glance which teams carry the most goals, active projects, or associated risks without leaving the chart view.
Navigating the chart
Expanding and collapsing branches
Click on a team card to expand or collapse its child teams. This allows you to focus on specific branches of the hierarchy without being overwhelmed by the full tree. Collapsed branches show an indicator that child teams exist beneath them.
Drilling into team details
Click through a team card to navigate to that team’s detail page in Team Management, where you can view the full member roster, edit team properties, or manage assignments.
How hierarchy renders
The chart automatically arranges teams based on the parent team relationships defined in Team Management. Teams without a parent appear at the root level. Teams assigned to a parent are rendered as children beneath that parent, indented one level down.
If you change a team’s parent (for example, moving “Cloud Security” from under “Security Engineering” to under “Security Operations”), the chart updates to reflect the new position the next time you load the page.
Teams with no parent and no children appear as standalone cards at the root level of the chart, alongside the primary hierarchy.
Use cases
Security org review — Use the team chart during leadership meetings to walk through your security organization structure. The summary badges on each card highlight where goals, projects, and risks concentrate, helping you spot imbalances or gaps in coverage.
Onboarding — Share the team chart with new security team members to help them understand the organizational structure, reporting lines, and where their team fits within the broader program.
Restructuring — When reorganizing teams, use the chart to visualize the current state, then update parent-child relationships in Team Management to model the proposed structure. Reload the chart to verify the new layout before communicating changes.
Permissions
Viewing the Team Chart is available to all users with access to the Operating Model module. Modifying the hierarchy that drives the chart requires team management permissions as described in Team Management.
