Metrics and Reporting
Purpose: keep this page as the short entry point for leadership reporting rather than a dead redirect. Use it when you need to decide which report to build, which metrics belong in it, and which page in this knowledge base should be the source of truth.
The minimum reporting model
A professional Product Security reporting pack should answer four questions:
- What changed?
- Where is risk concentrating?
- What is improving or slipping?
- What decision or investment is needed from leadership?
If a report only lists scanner counts, it is rarely decision-useful.
Which page to open next
| Need | Open this page |
|---|---|
| Director-level operating metrics | Product Security Director Metrics |
| Business translation and maturity narrative | Product Security Maturity, Scale, and Business Translation |

| Board-friendly pages | Board-Ready Product Security Reporting Pages |
| Exception tracking and decisions | Policy Exception Governance Pack |
Reporting design rules
- show trend and concentration, not just raw totals;
- translate technical movement into delivery, trust, or financial impact;
- separate control coverage, finding backlog, and decision debt;
- always include a short section titled leadership asks / decisions requested.
