Create an Executive Report
Generate an Executive Report with the four-step wizard and export individual slides to PowerPoint or PNG.
Generate your first Executive Report. For positioning and the slide list, see the Executive Reports overview.
Executive Reports is in Preview. The feature works today; expect refinement as it evolves toward general availability.
Quick start
If Executive Reports is already enabled for your organization and at least one space has scanned assets, you can be done in under five minutes:
- In the side navigation, select Reporting → Executive.
- Step through the four wizard pages: Organization, Spaces, Frameworks, Review & Generate.
- Click Generate Report. When it's ready, the report opens in the viewer.
- On each slide, use Copy PNG or PPT to export it into your board deck.
The rest of this page is reference detail for each wizard step plus troubleshooting.
Before you begin
Permissions:
- Organization Admin for one-time enablement. Handled by your customer success manager.
- Space Viewer (or higher) on every space you want included. Generates and views reports.
Prerequisites:
- At least one space with scanned assets.
- For per-business-unit views on the Executive Scorecard: assets annotated with a key that identifies each asset's business unit or division.
- For per-framework Regulation slides: at least one compliance framework enabled in the in-scope spaces.
Enable Executive Reports
To turn the feature on for your organization, contact your customer success manager or open a support case. Enablement is a one-time setup; once it's on, the feature is available to every Space Viewer (or higher) in the org.
Once enabled, Reporting → Executive appears in the side navigation.
Walk through the wizard
In the side navigation, select Reporting → Executive. The wizard opens at Generate Executive Report and moves through four steps in order.
Step 1: Organization
Describe the organization the board is hearing about. These values shape the Executive Scorecard and the Transformation slide.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Company Name | Appears on the title slide and in slide headers. |
| Team Size | Head count of the VM program. Drives per-person throughput and hours saved. |
| Target Risk Score | Board-approved composite risk score target. The Executive Scorecard plots actual against this line. |
| Target Date | The quarter by which you expect to reach the target. Sets the horizon for the trend lines. |
| Pre-Mondoo MTTR | Customer-supplied baseline mean time to remediate before Mondoo. Stored as the mondoo.com/pre-mondoo-mttr annotation on the organization. Free-form text; the Transformation slide reads it as a starting point. |
Step 2: Spaces
Section heading: Space Filters. Filter the spaces the report covers by annotation key-value pairs; only spaces matching every filter are included. With no filters, the empty state reads No filters applied — all spaces will be included. (verbatim from the product).
The included-spaces panel shows the count and names of every space that matches. For a board-level chapter, include every production space. Each space's assets feed the Executive Scorecard and the per-business-unit breakdowns.
Step 3: Frameworks
Section heading: Compliance Frameworks. Each framework you check here adds a Regulation slide to the deck. The Overall goal % you set drives the target line on its slide.
The list shows frameworks already enabled in at least one in-scope space, the count of in-scope spaces where each is enabled, and an Overall goal numeric field with a % suffix. The Controls Assessment slide is always-on and hardcoded to CIS Critical Security Controls v8 maturity; it doesn't depend on this step.
Only frameworks enabled in an in-scope space appear here. If the list looks short, enable the frameworks you want covered under the space's Policies page first, then return to the wizard.
Step 4: Review
Section heading: Review & Generate. Three blocks summarize your selections: ORGANIZATION (the five fields from step 1), SPACES (the count and names of included spaces), and FRAMEWORKS (each selected framework with its Overall goal %). Expand Advanced: per-domain targets on any framework to set a different goal per domain (for example, NIS2 Governance at 90% while Supply Chain Security stays at 85%).
When you're ready, click Generate Report. Generation takes a few seconds to a minute. When it's ready, the report opens in the viewer.
Export the report
Every slide in the viewer has its own export controls.
- Copy PNG. Copy one slide as an image to your clipboard. Paste it into Slack, email, or Notion.
- PPT. Download one slide as a single-slide
.pptx. Embed it in an existing deck or your house board template.
Repeat per slide to assemble a multi-slide chapter.
Troubleshooting
The Reporting nav item doesn't appear. Refresh the browser. If it's still missing, confirm with your customer success manager that Executive Reports is enabled for your organization, and that your account has Space Viewer (or higher) on at least one space.
The Executive Scorecard's per-business-unit view is empty. Assets in scope aren't annotated with a business-unit key. Add annotations to the assets you want reflected, pick a single key name (for example, business-unit, division, or bu), and apply it consistently across every asset.
A Regulation slide didn't render for a framework I selected. The framework isn't enabled in any in-scope space, or the wizard's Overall goal % was blank. Enable the framework on the space's Policies page, set an overall goal in step 3, then regenerate.
The Controls Assessment slide shows no maturity. CIS Critical Security Controls v8 evaluation depends on Mondoo policies running against assets in the in-scope spaces. Confirm that the spaces have scanned assets and that the relevant policies are enabled.
An exported .pptx slide is blank or missing data. Usually the timeframe has no data for that slide. Regenerate with a longer window or a narrower scope so every selected slide has something to render.
FAQ
Is Executive Reports on my plan? Yes. It's included in every Mondoo plan at no add-on cost.
Can I edit a section after it's generated? Not in-product. Sections render from live data. To customize further, export to PowerPoint and edit there.
Can I add my own sections? Not in Preview. The five always-on slides and per-framework Regulation slides are fixed. You control which frameworks render and which spaces are in scope, not the slide set or the order.
How many slides will my report have? A cover plus the five always-on content slides, plus one Regulation slide per framework you select in step 3. Selecting nothing at step 3 yields a 6-slide deck; selecting three frameworks yields 9.
Does the report pull data from all my spaces at once? By default yes. Use the space filters in step 2 to narrow to a subset (for example, production only).
Is my data sent anywhere external? No. Report generation runs inside Mondoo. The PowerPoint is assembled on Mondoo's servers and downloaded via HTTPS.
Can I generate historical reports? Yes. Pick the timeframe in the viewer after generation; the report renders against the data Mondoo has collected for that window.
