Dashboard

The GuardWare INSIGHT Dashboard provides a centralised view of your organisation’s data activity, user behaviour, and potential security risks. It brings key insights into one place, helping you monitor file movements, SharePoint activity, email usage, AI tool usage, device activity, label events, location-based risks, and other sensitive events. The dashboard helps administrators and security teams to quickly detect unusual behaviour, assess risk levels, and investigate incidents across the organisation.

The dashboard includes the following Risk Category tabs, allowing you to switch between different risk areas. Each tab contains widgets that provide insights into data usage patterns, trends, and potential threats.

  1. Risk Summary

  2. Data Type Risks

  3. SharePoint Risks

  4. AI Usage Risks

  5. Behaviour Risks

  6. Label Events

  7. Location Risks

  8. Protected File

  9. System Risks

You can also create custom dashboards and choose the widgets according to your organisation’s monitoring priorities. For details on creating custom dashboards, see Create a New Dashboard.

Dashboard Risk Categories and Widgets

Risk Summary

Risk Summary provides an overview of key security and data protection indicators across your organisation. It displays critical activities such as file sharing, data transfers, email usage, and device interactions, helping you identify potential risks and monitor sensitive information in real time.

This is particularly useful for executives and security managers who need a quick summary of data-related risks without navigating through detailed reports.

Each widget in this risk category displays the following:

  1. Activities related to various categories like SharePoint, File and data transfer, file upload, usage of AI tools, non-corporate websites and applications, and so on.

  2. The total number of users involved in specific activities or incidents during the specific period.

  3. The total number of incidents recorded for each monitored category. (for example, how many files were downloaded).

  4. Risk levels for each activity category.

You can export a widget’s data to PDF or Excel by clicking Download Excel or Download PDF in the top-right corner of the widget.

Risk Levels

Each activity in the widgets is assigned a risk level that indicates the severity of detected activities. The risk level for each activity is defined in Risk Definitions.
