The Home Dashboard¶
Audience: All client users · Where: the Canima portal home (/), opens right after you sign in.
Overview¶
The Dashboard is your organization's security "at a glance" screen. It rolls up every assessment, scan, finding, and asset in your organization into one set of summary cards, so you can see your current risk posture without opening individual reports. The cards are a live snapshot that updates as new scans and findings come in; nothing on them changes your data.
You reach it by clicking the Dashboard icon (top of the left sidebar) from anywhere in the portal, or by clicking the Canima logo.
Who can see it
Every signed-in member of your organization sees the Dashboard. The numbers shown are scoped to the assessments and assets you have access to, so a member with limited grants may see smaller totals than an owner or manager who can see the whole organization.
MSSPs and pentest firms
At firm level, the Dashboard is a cross-client roll-up instead. See Portfolio views.
The headline row¶
Four figures across the top summarize your outcomes:
| Figure | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Security Score | Your overall posture score, with its change vs last month in points. |
| Open Critical & High | How many critical and high findings are still open. |
| Avg Time to Fix | Average time from a finding first becoming visible to you to it being fixed, over the last 6 months. |
| Awaiting Retest | Fixes you've submitted that are waiting to be re-verified. |
Executive summary PDF¶
The Executive summary PDF button above the headline row produces a short, leadership-ready PDF of your outcomes over the last 12 months. It shows Generating… while it works (usually under a minute), then Download executive summary. See Outcomes & Executive Summary.
What each card shows¶
-
Active Scans
How many scans are running right now. When idle, it reads "All scans idle." Start a new scan from the Assessments view.
-
Report Pipeline
The status of your deliverable reports across four stages: Draft → In Review → Approved → Published. The percentages show how your reports are distributed across those stages.
-
Open Findings
The count of findings that still need to be fixed, plus Awaiting Retest (fixes waiting to be re-verified). An Open Findings by Severity donut breaks the open total down into Critical / High / Medium / Low. Click View more → to jump straight to the full Findings list.
-
Vulnerability Trends
A line chart of findings discovered over time, by severity. Use the chips to switch scope (All / External / Web App / Internal) and time range. "Latest month" calls out the most recent count.
-
Risk and Compliance
Open findings that have outlived your organization's SLA targets: Critical / High / Medium / Low past SLA target, plus High Risk Open (any open finding with CVSS ≥ 7.0). The Your SLA targets link shows the targets in use.
-
Top Risk Assets — Across Org
Your highest-risk assets ranked by a computed risk score, with the finding severity mix per asset and the license that covers it (Internal / External / Web / ASM). Click View all assets → to open the Asset Library.
-
Breach Exposure
Credentials belonging to your organization that have appeared in known third-party data breaches, split into employee vs. consumer accounts, with the exposed accounts and the date of the most recent breach. (Populated when your organization has external/attack-surface monitoring enabled.)
-
Recent Activity
The latest assessments and scans and their outcome status (e.g. Completed, Completed With Warnings), newest first. Click an entry to open that assessment. For a full log, see Activity in the sidebar.
-
Scheduled Assessments
How your recurring assessments are keeping to schedule: a donut of the share on track, with Total, On track, Overdue, and the Next run. Reads "No scheduled assessments" when none are set. Click View assessments → to manage them.
Tips¶
Tip
- The Dashboard reflects your whole organization, not a single project. To drill into one engagement, use Assessments in the sidebar.
- If a card shows lower numbers than you expect, check your access level. Members only see the assessments and assets they've been granted.
- Items in Risk and Compliance are the best place to start prioritizing: they've already missed your own remediation targets.
Licensed features
The Breach Exposure and attack-surface figures only appear if your organization holds an external/ASM license. See Attack Surface.
