Solutions · IronSphere Inspector UI
Total Security Visibility. Total Control.
From High-Level Posture to Root-Cause Fixes.
IronSphere Inspector bridges the gap between executive leadership, compliance auditors, and system administrators. Navigate through four intuitive levels of visibility to evaluate risk, track remediation, and capture audit-ready evidence.
The 4-Level Drill-Down Workflow
One workflow, four audiences
Level 1
CISOs & Executives
Primary function: High-level risk score & aggregate security posture
Key deliverable: Standardized metric: Calculated Risk = Σ Actual Severities ÷ Σ Potential Risks
Level 2
Security Operations Managers
Primary function: Fleet navigation across OS, Mainframe & Cloud
Key deliverable: Segmented host health & cross-platform status
Level 3
Compliance Auditors
Primary function: Multi-column filtering, baselines & freezing
Key deliverable: Audit evidence & historical comparison tables
Level 4
System Administrators
Primary function: Deep check analysis, direct assignment & fixes
Key deliverable: Root-cause remediation & active discussion threads
Level 1
Executive Security Posture View
Target Role: CISOs, IT Executives, and Security Directors
Unified Risk Score: Instantly assess posture using a standardized risk formula: Calculated Risk = Σ Actual Severities ÷ Σ Potential Risks.
Segmented Grouping: View aggregated risks organized by CIDR network segments, geographic locations, or product types (Operating Systems, Middleware, Applications).
At-a-Glance Posture: Eliminate multi-tool noise with a single-screen executive overview.
Level 2
Endpoint Group Navigation
Target Role: Security Operations Managers & Team Leads
Granular Fleet Visibility: Select any monitored segment or product group from Level 1 to view all underlying endpoints.
Cross-Platform Fleet Monitoring: Manage heterogeneous environments side-by-side—from cloud workloads and Linux/Windows servers to IBM z/OS Mainframes and IBM i (AS/400).
Health & Compliance Indicators: Quickly spot failing hosts or unaddressed vulnerability clusters within specific operational domains.
Level 3
Detailed Findings & Assessment Table
Target Role: Compliance Auditors & Security Engineers
Multi-Column Filtering & Sorting: Sort findings by normalized STIG severity (None, Low, Medium, High), asset type, or compliance framework.
Result Freezing & Exception Alerts: Freeze baseline check results to mark approved deviations. Receive automatic alerts if frozen states change or revert.
Remediation Progress Bars: Track active remediation lifecycles in real time with visual progress indicators.
Historical State Comparison: Compare current finding tables with baseline scans or historical dates to measure posture improvements.
Level 4
Specific Check Analysis & Remediation
Target Role: System Administrators & Field Engineers
Deep Vulnerability & Rule Context: Inspect raw check results, exact misconfigurations, and underlying CVE or benchmark definitions.
Task Assignment & Accountability: Assign specific check remediation tasks directly to individual users or operational groups (e.g., Windows SysAdmins, DBA Team, Mainframe Ops).
Actionable Step-by-Step Guidance: Access precise remediation instructions to resolve weaknesses without risking service availability or system uptime.
Risk Exception Controls: Define risk acceptance rules by finding list, target time window, or both.
Side-by-Side Endpoint Comparison: Benchmark findings on the current asset against peer endpoints within the same network segment and operating system.
Discussion Threads & Document Attachments: Attach evidence files, record rationale, and maintain operational continuity across shift hand-offs and workforce transitions.
Core Technical Capabilities
Built to keep every decision on record
Institutional Memory
Preserve every decision, discussion note, and remediation document in the IronSphere central database.
Inactive System Exclusion
Exclude checks on systems that are not yet active to avoid skewing operational compliance scores.
Tamper-Proof Audit Exports
Export findings at any level into XML, CSV, standard PDF, or cryptographically Signed PDF reports.
