Federal GRC Engineering

CDM Dashboard

The federated reporting platform in the CISA Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program that aggregates each agency asset, vulnerability, identity, and configuration data into an agency-level dashboard, with summary data flowing to a federal dashboard CISA operates. The dashboard is the operational instrument by which CISA tracks compliance with Binding Operational Directives across the federal civilian executive branch, identifies systemic exposure (every FCEB agency running an unpatched KEV, for example), and reports federal cybersecurity posture to OMB and Congress under FISMA.
