The Control Effectiveness Distribution widget displays a chart of controls grouped by effectiveness band. Use it to see at a glance how effective your control set is.
What this widget is for
Add this widget to your dashboard when you own or manage controls in Risk Manager and want a clear picture of control health. For example, a risk manager can see how many controls fall into the weaker effectiveness bands or have not been assessed at all, and target their assurance work accordingly. This widget requires the Risk Manager feature.
What the widget shows
The widget displays a donut or bar chart. Each segment represents an effectiveness band, and a legend identifies the bands. You can include bands that hold no controls, and show controls that have not been assessed as their own segment.
