SAF Framework

Visualize

Security data is only valuable when stakeholders can understand it and act on it. The Visualize phase of the MITRE SAF transforms security test results into clear, actionable insights through interactive dashboards and comprehensive reporting. Whether you're presenting to executives, collaborating with development teams, or preparing for audits, Heimdall provides the visualization tools to communicate security posture effectively.

The Problem

Security Data Overload

Security teams generate massive amounts of test data from validation runs across hundreds or thousands of systems. Raw, machine-friendly output from tools make it difficult for stakeholders to understand and prioritize security posture at a glance. Executives need summaries, developers need detailed failure information, and auditors need compliance evidence - but they're all looking at the same incomprehensible data dumps. Implementing a dashboard to properly track and aggregate all this data is a challenge.

The Solution

Heimdall - Security Visualization Platform

Heimdall transforms Heimdall Data Format (HDF) security results (or, to put it another way, the output of the Normalize pillar) into interactive dashboards and comprehensive reports. Upload validation results from InSpec or any other security data source with an HDF converter; Heimdall will automatically translate it into HDF and store it in a centralized database. View aggregated compliance statistics across your entire infrastructure, drill down into specific failures, compare results over time, and export reports for stakeholders.

Interactive Dashboards

Visualize security compliance across your entire infrastructure at a glance. See pass/fail statistics, severity breakdowns, and trending over time. Filter by system, compliance framework, or control family to focus on what matters most.

Multi-Stakeholder Views

Different audiences need different information. Executives see high-level compliance scores and risk trends. Developers see detailed failure descriptions with remediation guidance. Auditors see comprehensive evidence packages with all required documentation.

Compliance Trending

Track security posture improvements over time. Compare current results against baselines, identify emerging issues before they become critical, and demonstrate continuous improvement to stakeholders and auditors.

Automated Reporting

Generate comprehensive reports in multiple formats. Export PDF reports for executives, detailed CSV exports for analysis, or compliance evidence packages for auditors. Schedule automated report generation and distribution.
