Why Custom Built Dashboards & Reporting?

Custom-built dashboards and reporting are crucial in application security as they provide tailored, real-time visibility into security metrics, vulnerabilities, compliance posture, and remediation progress across applications and environments. By aggregating data from Application Security tools and visualizing them through platforms such as Power BI, Grafana, or ServiceNow Performance Analytics, organizations can prioritize risks and drive informed decision-making. Techniques like risk scoring, heatmaps, and trend analysis allow security teams to proactively track threats, measure KPIs, and demonstrate compliance with standards like NIST 800-53, OWASP ASVS, and ISO/IEC 27001. These custom dashboards support automated alerting and executive-level reporting, reducing manual effort and increasing accountability across development and security teams. Ultimately, they enable continuous improvement by aligning security efforts with business goals and regulatory requirements.
