Data Security Command Center

Data Security Command Center

Rubrik’s Data Security Command Center helps enterprises identify security gaps, quantify data risk, and provide actionable recommendations to improve their data security posture.

I was the lead designer on this project working with a cross-functional research, product, and engineering team. Check out the main highlights of the design below. If you'd like to learn more, shoot me an email at anambhatia22@gmail.com.

Problem

Problem

Currently, platform and data security-related information is scattered across Rubrik UI, preventing users from viewing a cohesive overview of their data safety, security settings, and overall security posture. This unified perspective is crucial for users—including security admins, backup admins, managers, and executives—to effectively assess the health of their enterprise, identify vulnerabilities, and implement appropriate remedies.

We developed the Data Security Command Center, a comprehensive dashboard that offers a data security score and detailed breakdowns to empower users in monitoring their enterprise’s health. It delivers actionable insights and recommendations, enabling users to pinpoint data vulnerabilities and enhance their overall security score. By transforming data risk management into a gamified, single-view experience, it significantly streamlines the process of monitoring and improving the data health of an enterprise.

Using the Dashboard, users can view their cumulative security score and its breakdown, explore overall trends, and view a timeline to see how data health has changed over time. The dashboard also provides a subjective rating to help users get a better understanding of their score.

Users can drill down into one of the 4 metrics to view and configure recommendations that will help them improve their enterprise’s overall data security score. An interactive timeline provides users with a simple way to explore how and why their scores have changed over time.

Users can generate easy-to-understand data security reports that can be instantly shared with executives, C-suite, security admins, and more.

Providing executive and C-level professionals with a concise, actionable security risk report significantly enhances decision-making. Unlike typical SaaS reports, which often overflow with raw data but lack practical insights, our approach distills complex security standings into clear, strategic recommendations. This focus ensures that leaders can quickly understand their organization's security posture and make informed decisions to strengthen it. This is a preview of what the PDF report includes:
