Before You Begin

  • Confirm your reporting cadence and stakeholder audience (weekly, monthly, or quarterly).
  • Validate severity mapping and lifecycle status usage for MTTR and backlog metrics.
  • Align SLA policy inputs (due date source and breach definition) before trend reviews.

Guide walkthrough

Step 1

Define reporting window and metric baseline

Use a fixed window (for example 30/60/90 days) so trend comparisons are stable and defensible.

  • Select reporting period that matches governance and board cadence.
  • Confirm MTTR includes only resolved critical/high findings in-window.
  • Confirm open backlog metrics use active lifecycle states only.

What success looks like

Confirm open backlog metrics use active lifecycle states only.

Step 2

Review trend deltas and ownership rollups

Pair metric deltas with repository/team ownership so leadership can assign accountable follow-up actions.

  • Review open critical/high trend direction versus previous equivalent window.
  • Review SLA compliance and breached backlog trend before executive review.
  • Use repository and team rollups to target remediation bottlenecks.

What success looks like

Use repository and team rollups to target remediation bottlenecks.

Step 3

Export and schedule recurring executive packs

Generate ad-hoc exports for immediate stakeholder review and configure recurring schedule for operating cadence.

  • Export CSV/JSON/PDF for audit, leadership, and automation workflows.
  • Configure schedule cadence, window, format set, and delivery targets (webhook/email).
  • Track generated export history and retain artifacts per policy.

What success looks like

Track generated export history and retain artifacts per policy.

What success looks like

  • Executive pack clearly shows MTTR, critical/high backlog, SLA compliance, and trend deltas.
  • Repository/team rollups identify owners for the largest unresolved risk areas.
