Executive Reports Overview

Note:For more detailed insights into your organization’s Risk Score, see our SmartRisk Agent™ and Risk Score v2 Guide. Once you opt in, all your applicable reports will use data from Risk Score v2.

On the Executive Reports tab, you can add, resize, and rearrange widgets to create custom executive reports. The widgets allow you to display your organization’s phishing, training, and risk score metrics. You can also add supporting titles, subtitles, text, and tables. The reports can then be printed as a PDF file or scheduled to be printed later.

Note: Data from your KSAT console can take up to 24 hours to process and display in your executive reports.

System Executive Report Templates

The Executive Reports tab includes three system report templates. For more information about these reports, see below:

  • Security Admin Report: This report template includes information such as your organization’s training completion, Risk Score trend, Phish-prone Percentage, and Phishing Security Test (PST) results.
  • CISO Report: This report template includes information such as your organization’s Risk Score trend, risk score, training completion, training status, PST results, and Phish-prone Percentage.
  • Team Manager Report: This report template includes information such as the Risk Score, training completion, PST results, and Phish-prone Percentage for each of your manager’s teams.

To view these report templates, click the drop-down menu in the top-left corner of the Executive Reports tab and then select the report you want to view. While you're unable to change the system report templates, you can still make edits and then save your changes under a new report name.

Executive Reports Widgets

You can customize your executive reports using widgets. Click the tabs below to learn about the widgets that you can add to your executive reports.

The Title and Logo widget allows you to add titles, subtitles, and your company logo to your report.

The Training Metrics widget allows you to add a training activity graph or table to your report. To learn how to customize this widget, see the screenshot and list below:

  1. Override selected report settings for Group, Start Date, and End Date: Enable this setting to set the Group, Start Date, and End Date fields for the widget instead of using the default report settings.
  2. Value Type: Use this drop-down menu to select the value type you would like to view for your selected criteria. For example, you can view the total time spent on training or the percentage of completed training.
    Note:The Total Count option refers to the total count of training module assignments for each users.
  3. Category: Use this drop-down menu to select the category you would like to view data for. For example, you can view data for training campaigns or departments.
  4. Grouped By: Use this drop-down menu to select how you would like to group data for your selected category. For example, you can group data by email address for each department.
  5. Groups: Use this drop-down menu to select one or more groups that you would like to include in your graph or table.

      Note: We use weighted averages because a simple average could be misleading. Simple averages treat all percentages the same, regardless of the number of users in a campaign. The weighted average considers the number of users involved and more accurately represents the information.
  8. Include Archived Users?: Enable this setting to include archived users in your graph or table.
  9. Include items with blank values: Enable this setting to display items that have blank values for your selected criteria. For example, this setting could allow users without a value in the Department field to display.
