Supporting technical capability

Show security gaps and progress in one Power BI view.

Build a Power BI dashboard showing Secure Score, the agreed security gaps, owners and progress over time. Leadership can see what changed and what still needs action.

Illustrative sample · supporting capability

Can the board trace an open risk to evidence and an owner?

CONSTRUCTED EXAMPLETechnical record
Constructed risk row · administrator access
  1. SOURCEAdministrator role assignment export
  2. DEFINITIONRole → business purpose → accountable owner
  3. DECISIONOwner unconfirmed: show an evidence gap, not a risk score.

REFRESH CONDITIONRecord export date and owner review date. Refresh after the role owner confirms the finding.

Observation
The role assignment export exists, but its purpose and operational owner are unconfirmed.
Decision
Show an evidence gap instead of an arbitrary risk score.
Next action
Name the owner, record the evidence date and assign the next decision. Dashboard construction is a separate scope.

This capability can inform the next service. Its inclusion, price and calendar must be agreed in that service’s scope; following the link does not make it included.

Technical context

When this work applies

  • The board keeps asking whether security is actually improving.
  • Security work happens but leadership cannot see the progress.
  • You need to show who owns each fix and how it is trending, not a one-time audit.

Possible outputs

Outputs to agree in scope

Board IT Risk Dashboard

Control gaps, who owns each fix, and how the picture is trending, in one Power BI view.

Fix tracker

Each gap mapped to an owner and a status so progress is visible.

Refresh and access guide

A documented refresh schedule and access process for board reporting.

Commercial & delivery basis

The scope and conditions of the work.

Delivery window

This supporting capability has no separate confirmed delivery window. The proposal names its scope and calendar.

How engagements are scoped
Capability scope to confirm
  • Risk dashboard with control-gap and posture trend
  • An owner and a status against every fix
  • KPI definitions
  • Refresh and access guide
Scope assumptions
  • Secure Score and assessment data are exportable
  • Access controls applied so people only see the numbers they should
Exclusions
  • Making the fixes themselves, which are separate security builds
  • A data warehouse build

Separately scoped engagements

M365 Security & Zero Trust Assessment
Required access
  • Read-only access to Secure Score and security reporting exports
  • A Power BI workspace or licensing
  • A 30-minute kickoff to agree the board metrics

Acceptance

The agreed completion standard.

The engagement is complete when the risk dashboard, the fix tracker, and the refresh guide are delivered and walked through.
