What Types of Reports Are Available in My KCM GRC Console? 

Your KCM Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform offers a variety of reports for your KCM GRC modules. These reports provide detailed metrics for many of the various workflows, management, and compliance efforts made in your account. In addition to the reports offered in the console, you also have the ability to export a full copy of any of the scopes in your Compliance Management module.

If you're an account administrator, you can access all reports from the Metrics page. To view, click Metrics from the left-hand side navigation panel.

There are six sections displayed on the Metrics page. Use the links below to learn more about the report(s) under each section. The final section of this article provides details on exporting scopes from your account.

Summary Compliance Reports

Under the Summary Compliance Reports section, you'll find a report for each scope that you've created in your account. The purpose of the Summary Report is to provide an overview of a scope's requirements and controls and the status of their associated tasks.

You can refine what requirements are included in the report by setting filters in the top-left area, as shown below. Filtering is based on the start, end, or due dates of the tasks that you've created for controls.

You can use the Export Results to CSV button at the top-right of the page to download a CSV file of the report. The CSV will consist of the scope requirements that have mapped controls and scheduled tasks.

1. From: Use the drop-down menu to specify whether you want to start the filtering of tasks by their Start Date, End Date, or Due On [Date]. Then, click the date field to select a calendar date to start from.
2. To: Use the drop-down menu to specify whether you want to end the filtering of tasks by their Start Date, End Date, or Due On [Date]. Then, click the date field to select a calendar date to end on.
3. Click Apply Filters to apply your task specifications.
4. Use the Reset Filter button to remove the filter you've put in place.
   

   Note:

   If you use the Export Results to CSV button while a task filter is in place, the CSV will only contain requirements and controls that have tasks applicable to the filter.

5. The Compliance % column (see below) will contain either a percentage or one of these four tags: No Controls, No Tasks In Range, No Tasks Scheduled, or No Tasks Due. The details of each tag are defined in this report key, as shown in the screenshot above.

6. All requirements included in the scope will be listed in this report. The requirements are broken into sections based on the top-level requirement IDs. All subsequent requirements are contained within. There is a header row for each different top-level requirement ID.
   For example, in the image above, the first header row is PCI DSS 3.2 1. All requirements with a requirement ID beginning with "1." (e.g., 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, etc.), are found beneath this header. The next header row is PCI DSS 3.2 2. All requirements with a requirement ID beginning with "2." (e.g., 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, etc.), are found beneath this header.
7. Self-Assessment: The status you've set for each requirement's self-assessment question is noted by one of the symbols in the table below. See here to learn more about Scope Self-Assessments.
   

   	Met
   	Not Met
   	No Answer
   	Not Applicable

8. Compliance %: The measure of completion for the task(s) scheduled for each control.
   Compliance percentage is calculated by adding the number of tasks that have a Closed Late, Awaiting Approval, Satisfied, or Acknowledged status, then dividing that number by the total number of tasks for that control (including tasks in Failed or Past Due status).
   

   Note:

   the tasks in Active status are not included in this calculation.

9. Expand/Collapse: Requirements that have controls mapped to them will include an expand arrow in this column. Use the expand/collapse arrow to view/hide the control, respectively.

Scope Tasks Gantt

A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates the schedule of a project, or scope–as referred to in KCM GRC. Under the Scope Tasks Gantt section, you'll find a Gantt chart for the tasks from "All Scopes", as well as individual Gantt charts for each scope's tasks.

Click All Scopes or one of your individual scopes to view the Gantt chart.

From the Task Gantt Chart view, use the From and To filters to show the tasks that start, end, or are due within a particular date range. You also have the option to use the Filter by Task Status drop-down menu (shown below) to filter the tasks by the following statuses:

• Active
• Due Today
• Past Due
• Failed
• Not Satisfied
• Pending Approval
• Pending My Approval
• Declined
• Satisfied

Tasks that have an Active, Satisfied, Closed Late, Past Due, or Failed status are distinguished in the Gantt chart by horizontal colored bars that represent the length of days the tasks were in the respective status. You can click on these colored bars to see an overview of task information.

Click on any control name from the control column of the Gantt chart to open the control in a new tab.

Exporting Scopes

In addition to the reports offered from the Metrics page, you also have the ability to export full copies of the scopes in your Compliance Management module.

The Scope Export allows you to download a zipped file containing all of the scope's requirements, controls, tasks, and optionally, task evidence. Navigate to the Export a Scope page by clicking Compliance > Scopes > Export Scope from the navigation menu on the left-hand side of your console. Once you fill out the form and click the Schedule Export button, the download will be available shortly after, typically within 10 minutes or less.

Download the Scope by clicking Compliance > Scopes > Scheduled Exports then clicking the download icon in the right column of the Scheduled Exports table ().

Once you've downloaded and unzipped the scope export, the file components will look similar to the image below.

Open the index.html file to view all of the scope's requirements, controls, and tasks in a browser. Each evidence file uploaded for the scope's tasks is saved in individual folders named after the evidence's Document ID. Evidence submitted as a doculink can be viewed from the task details found on the index.html page.
