Key Risk Indicators (KRIs)

KRIs are metrics that quantify your privileged access risk posture. Each KRI measures a specific aspect of risk and uses RAG (Red/Amber/Green) thresholds to indicate severity.

KRI Overview​

Navigate to KRIs to see all current indicator values.

KRI Trends

Each KRI card shows:

ElementDescription
NameWhat is being measured
Current ValueLatest count or percentage
RAG StatusGreen (within tolerance), Amber (warning), or Red (critical)
ChangeIncrease or decrease since the last snapshot

Built-in KRIs​

KRI cards are shown in the order below. The Community column shows which 4 KRIs are included in the free edition — all others require Pro or Enterprise (see Licensing).

KRI Definitions​

Navigate to KRIs and view the definitions to see or edit the configuration for each KRI.

Each definition has:

FieldDescription
CodeUnique identifier (e.g., PRIVILEGED_WITHOUT_OWNER)
NameDisplay name
DescriptionWhat the KRI measures and why it matters
Green ThresholdValues at or below this are healthy
Amber ThresholdValues between Green and Red are a warning
Red ThresholdValues at or above this are critical
EnabledWhether the KRI is active
note

Thresholds are inclusive. For example, if Green = 5, Amber = 15, and Red = 16, then a value of 5 is Green, 15 is Amber, and 16 is Red.

Editing Thresholds​

  1. Click on a KRI definition
  2. Adjust the Green, Amber, and Red threshold values
  3. Click Save

Threshold changes take effect immediately on the dashboard and KRI pages.

KRI Snapshots​

Requires Pro or Enterprise edition.

Snapshots capture a point-in-time record of all KRI values. They are used to build trend charts and track progress over time.

Automatic Snapshots​

A snapshot is taken automatically each time a scan completes.

Manual Snapshots​

  1. Navigate to KRIs > Snapshots
  2. Click Take Snapshot

Viewing Snapshots​

The snapshots page shows a table of all historical snapshots with their timestamp and KRI values. Click a snapshot to see its full breakdown.

Requires Pro or Enterprise edition.

Navigate to KRIs > Trends to view KRI values over time as a chart.

  • Select one or more KRIs to display
  • Choose a time range
  • The chart background uses RAG colouring to show threshold bands

This makes it easy to spot whether your risk posture is improving or deteriorating.

KRI Exceptions​

Requires Enterprise edition.

Exceptions allow you to formally acknowledge and exclude specific accounts from KRI calculations. This is useful for accounts that have been reviewed and accepted as a known risk.

Creating an Exception​

  1. Navigate to KRIs > Exceptions
  2. Click Add Exception
  3. Fill in:
FieldRequiredDescription
KRIYesWhich KRI this exception applies to
AccountYesThe account being excepted
ReasonYesJustification for the exception
ApproverYesWho approved this exception
Expiry DateNoWhen the exception expires (must be re-approved after this date)
  1. Click Save

Managing Exceptions​

  • Expired exceptions are highlighted in amber and should be reviewed and either renewed or removed
  • Delete an exception to bring the account back into KRI calculations
  • All exception changes are recorded in the audit log
