SUSAN Unified GRC Dashboard helps organizations bring cybersecurity risk, privacy risk, compliance status, control evidence, remediation ownership and audit readiness into one shared view. Many organizations manage Governance, Risk and Compliance across disconnected tools, spreadsheets, dashboards, emails and manual reports. This creates fragmented visibility for CISOs, GRC teams, privacy leaders, audit teams and executives. SUSAN Unified GRC Dashboard supports a more connected operating model by helping teams see risks, controls, evidence, gaps and remediation priorities in one place.
What Is SUSAN Unified GRC Dashboard?
SUSAN Unified GRC Dashboard is a SUSAN module capability that helps teams view cybersecurity, privacy and compliance information through a centralized assurance dashboard.
It can support visibility into:
Cybersecurity risks
Privacy risks
Compliance gaps
Control status
Evidence status
Remediation actions
Framework alignment
Cloud and SOC signals
AI Risk Scoring
Audit readiness
Leadership reporting
Continuous Assurance
The goal is to reduce fragmented reporting and help teams work from one shared view of risk and compliance posture.
Why a Unified GRC Dashboard Matters
Governance, Risk and Compliance work becomes difficult when teams use different sources of truth.
Common challenges include:
Risk data spread across tools
Control owners tracked manually
Evidence stored in folders and spreadsheets
Compliance status updated only before audits
Remediation actions not clearly assigned
SOC findings disconnected from GRC workflows
Cloud findings reviewed separately
Leadership reporting prepared manually
Audit readiness unclear until late in the process
A unified dashboard helps teams move from scattered information to structured visibility.
Risk Visibility
Risk visibility helps teams understand where security, privacy and compliance exposure exists.
SUSAN Unified GRC Dashboard can help teams view:
High-risk findings
Control gaps
Cloud risks
SOC signals
Vendor risks
Privacy risks
Compliance risks
Remediation priorities
Leadership-level risk summaries
This helps teams prioritize actions based on risk relevance and business impact.
Control Visibility
Control visibility helps teams understand whether controls exist, who owns them and whether they are operating effectively.
Control visibility can include:
Control status
Control ownership
Framework mapping
Evidence linkage
Review status
Remediation needs
Control gaps
Audit readiness status
This helps GRC and audit teams identify which controls need attention before assessments or audits.
Evidence Visibility
Evidence is central to audit readiness and compliance assurance.
SUSAN Unified GRC Dashboard can help teams understand:
Which evidence exists
Which evidence is missing
Which evidence is outdated
Which evidence supports which control
Which evidence supports multiple frameworks
Which owners need to provide updates
Which evidence requires review
This supports stronger Continuous Monitoring & Evidence.
Remediation Tracking
Remediation tracking helps organizations move from finding issues to closing them.
A unified GRC dashboard can help teams track:
Assigned remediation actions
Open control gaps
Overdue tasks
Evidence gaps
Risk reduction progress
Control owner activity
Repeated findings
Leadership-level remediation visibility
This improves accountability across security, privacy, compliance and business teams.
Framework Alignment
Organizations often need visibility across multiple frameworks and regulations.
SUSAN Unified GRC Dashboard can support framework visibility across areas such as:
ISO 27001
GDPR
India DPDP Act
NIS2
DORA
CIS Controls
EU AI Act
Framework alignment helps teams understand which controls support which obligations and where gaps remain.
Dashboard View for Leadership
Executives and board-level stakeholders need clear and concise visibility into risk and compliance posture.
SUSAN Unified GRC Dashboard can help leadership understand:
Current risk posture
High-risk gaps
Audit readiness status
Control maturity
Remediation progress
Compliance exposure
Cloud and SOC risk trends
Evidence readiness
Priority actions
This helps convert technical and compliance signals into business-ready reporting.
Unified GRC Dashboard Control Map
| Dashboard Area | Common Problem | SUSAN Support |
|---|---|---|
| Risk visibility | Risk information is spread across multiple tools | Centralized risk view and prioritization |
| Control visibility | Control status and ownership are unclear | Control tracking, ownership and review visibility |
| Evidence visibility | Evidence is missing, outdated or hard to find | Evidence status, freshness and control mapping |
| Framework alignment | Frameworks are managed separately | Map controls and evidence across frameworks |
| Remediation tracking | Actions are not assigned or tracked clearly | Track open actions, overdue items and closure progress |
| SOC and cloud signals | Technical signals stay outside GRC workflows | Connect security findings to assurance visibility |
| Audit readiness | Teams prepare manually before audits | Maintain continuous audit-ready visibility |
| Leadership reporting | Executives receive delayed manual reports | Provide business-ready dashboard visibility |

Unified GRC Dashboard Readiness Checklist
Use this checklist to assess whether your organization has strong GRC dashboard visibility:
- Are cybersecurity risks visible in one place?
- Are compliance gaps tracked centrally?
- Are controls mapped to frameworks?
- Are control owners assigned?
- Is evidence linked to controls?
- Is evidence freshness visible?
- Are remediation actions assigned and tracked?
- Are SOC findings connected to GRC workflows?
- Are cloud findings linked to risk and compliance?
- Can leadership see high-risk gaps?
- Can audit teams access evidence quickly?
- Are framework gaps visible before audits?
- Is dashboard reporting updated continuously?
If several answers are no, the organization may need stronger unified GRC visibility.
