1. Unified visibility across all security and compliance programs ClearPoint makes it possible for you to incrementally assemble a unified view of your organization's security and compliance posture. We eliminate the need to hunt through disparate consoles or to manually compile spreadsheets. With ClearPoint your organization can rely on getting the trustworthy information, performance indicators, and alerts you need to continuously assess the state of your controls, understand the impact of your investments, and report on your compliance posture.
2. Trusted, transparent, auditable performance metrics model With ClearPoint you know you have a transparent metric model where all the parameters and inputs to your metric calculations and scorecard entries are fully documented. Your management team can confidently make decisions based on hard facts and real data. Your internal control auditors and compliance analysts can count on ClearPoint to deliver reliable confirmative evidence. With ClearPoint's exclusive “Metric XML” every aspect of your metric assembly and scorecard compilation is captured in a single set of XML documents. ClearPoint's Metric XML enables you to exchange methodologies and assure consistency, reliability, repeatability and ultimate comparability of results from period to period and across organizational dimensions. ClearPoint lets you collect your data one step at a time. You can start by filling out our online forms with the data you get from your consoles, move to uploading CSV's, and ultimately use our Data Collection Apps to orchestrate fully automated data collection and metrics calculation. You can do this at your own pace, blend approaches, and even distribute responsibility - it's up to you.
3. End user metric, scorecard and dashboard design and customization ClearPoint's Metric Design Studio and browser-based Assessment Manager give your analysts an intuitive, graphical environment to build your Metric XML and auto-document your initiatives. There's no need for sophisticated BI tools or hard to understand data warehouse cubes. In one step, users will document and produce ready-to-schedule scorecards and deploy their metrics and KPI's. ClearPoint's Metric XML generates your database tables and defines your persistence logic, eliminating the need for expensive DBA talent, database creation and entity management tools. We've done the hard work of creating a model that does this all for you while making sure your results are auditable and transparent.
4. Comprehensive catalog of performance and compliance metrics The ClearPoint Catalog is the ultimate jump start for your security and compliance assessments. We've carefully mapped meaningful metrics, essential management frameworks such as ISO 27001/2, and key compliance regulations such as PCI, NERC, FISMA, HIPPA and SOX. We've packaged our know-how into clear scorecard presentations that illuminate the leading practices on what matters to measure and how to most effectively communicate state, posture and efficacy of your vital security controls. Each scorecard package is cataloged by security discipline, accessible online via a searchable catalog, and easily customized with our end user tool set. You simple browse our catalog and select the scorecard you want -- your Assessment Management workspace is filled up with everything you need to get started.
5. Complete metric and scorecard lifecycle management We take care of all the details for provisioning and de-provisioning metrics and scorecards throughout their use cycle. You'll find it easy and fun to invite new users to participate in your assessments as viewers, annotators, data providers or full designers.

Setting up your goals and targets, establishing baselines, and reflecting your policies in your KPI's are a snap.
