Navigating the dashboard

Dashboard overview

The dashboard is what you see after logging in. It gives you a snapshot of your entire AI governance program: how many models you're tracking, which risks need attention, where your compliance stands and what tasks are overdue.

You can get back here from anywhere by clicking "Dashboard" in the sidebar or the VerifyWise logo at the top.

Two views: operations and executive

There's a toggle in the top-right corner that switches between two layouts. Your choice is saved to your browser, so it persists between sessions.

Customizing your layout

Click "Edit layout" next to the view toggle to choose what appears on your dashboard. Use the toggle beside a widget to show or hide it and the arrows to move it up or down, then click "Save". Each view keeps its own layout. Your layout is saved to your account, so it follows you to other browsers, and nobody else in your organization is affected.

To go back to the standard arrangement, open "Edit layout", click "Reset to default" and save. Widgets that need data you don't have yet, such as organizational frameworks, join the list once that data exists.

AI governance score

The ring chart in the executive view summarizes your governance posture as a single number from 0 to 100. It rolls up five areas into one weighted score, so leadership can see at a glance where the program is strong and where attention is needed. Each area is also shown next to the ring with its own 0–100% score.

The overall score is a weighted average of the five areas. The weights reflect how much each area contributes to your governance posture — risk and vendor management together account for 60% of the score.

To improve a category, progress its items through their lifecycle:

• Risk management: Set Mitigation status = Completed on risks as they are remediated. Lower or close any unmitigated Very high risk items first — they carry the steepest penalty.
• Vendor management: Mark vendors as Reviewed once their assessment is finished. Bring a vendor’s risk score below 70 to remove the high-risk penalty.
• Project governance: Move use cases to Completed when finished, and attach at least one compliance framework to each.
• Model lifecycle: Promote vetted models from Pending to Approved. Avoid leaving models in Blocked status — each one removes 25 points from this area.
• Policy & documentation: Move policies to Published status once they are released, and keep the next review date up to date so policies don’t become overdue.

Summary cards

The row of cards at the top shows counts across your key registries. Each card is clickable and takes you to the full page for that area.

Organizational framework cards

If you've enabled organizational frameworks (ISO 42001, ISO 27001 or NIST AI RMF), each one gets its own card showing implementation progress.

• ISO 42001 and ISO 27001: Arrow buttons in the card header toggle between clauses and annexes progress.
• NIST AI RMF: Shows control implementation status broken down by function (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage).

Clicking any framework card takes you to the framework management page where you can work on individual controls.

Risk overview

Risk cards display donut charts showing how your risks distribute across severity levels (critical, high, medium, low). There are 3 separate cards:

Task radar

The task radar groups your open tasks by urgency:

• Overdue: Past due date. These need immediate attention.
• Due soon: Due within the next 7 days.
• Upcoming: More than 7 days away.

Click the card to open the full tasks page with filtering and assignment options.

Metrics cards

The remaining cards cover specific governance areas:

Recent use cases table

At the bottom of the dashboard, a table lists your most recently updated AI use cases with these columns:

• Use case name: The name you gave the use case when creating it.
• Framework: Which compliance framework(s) are attached.
• Progress: Percentage of sub-controls completed.
• Status: Current use case status.
• Updated: Last modification timestamp.

Sidebar navigation

The sidebar on the left is your main navigation. It's divided into a top section and 3 labeled groups:

At the bottom of the sidebar you'll find Event tracker (audit log), Settings, and your user profile with logout.

Add new (quick actions)

• Vendor: Add a third-party vendor.
• Model: Add a model to your inventory.
• Risk: Log a new use-case-level risk.
• Policy: Create a governance policy.
• Vendor risk: Log a risk tied to a specific vendor.
