Design principles
Dashboards for governance should be concise, scannable, and decision oriented. Present a top line that signals overall health and provide drill down options for context. Use consistent visuals and avoid clutter that distracts from action.
Key components: risk overview, incident trends, remediation progress, training completion, and policy status. Each widget has a defined purpose, data source, update frequency, and an interpretation note to guide decisions.
Accessibility and alignment: Ensure readability for diverse audiences, use color coding that supports accessibility, and anchor visuals to policy thresholds and governance processes to aid auditability.
