Key features to explore first

CyberGuard covers the full governance, risk and compliance cycle, but you do not need all of it on day one. This page points you at the handful of modules most teams use first, in a sensible order, with links to the full documentation for each.

Audits

Go to Compliance → Audits. An audit measures your organization against a framework — ISO/IEC 27001, NIST CSF, or a custom one — requirement by requirement. You review each requirement, record a result such as compliant or non compliant, and attach the evidence that backs it up. Start here if your immediate goal is a certification or a regulatory obligation.

Risk assessments

Go to Risk → Risk assessments. A risk assessment collects risk scenarios for a system, department or process: you rate each scenario’s probability and impact, the selected risk matrix computes the risk level, and you attach the controls that mitigate it. Assign treatment work to the responsible team members and track it to completion.

Policies

Go to Governance → Policies. Policies are your organizational rule set — the documents that describe what is expected of your stakeholders. Keeping them in CyberGuard makes them available as supporting material in every audit and lets you manage their lifecycle: review dates, owners and status.

Applied controls

Go to Operations → Applied controls. Applied controls are the measures you actually run — technical safeguards, processes, documented policies. They are the connective tissue of the platform: the same control can satisfy requirements in several audits and reduce several risk scenarios at once, so time spent describing your controls well pays off everywhere.

Incidents

Go to Operations → Incidents. Log security events as they happen, track their status from open to resolved, and attach supporting files such as screenshots, logs or reports. Incident records feed your reviews and give auditors a trail of how events were handled.

Analytics

Once a little data exists, Overview → Analytics becomes the page you open every morning: compliance progress per framework, top risks and their treatment status, controls ranked by priority, and a watch list of approaching deadlines.
