Create an Executive Report
Walk through enabling Executive Reports, generating a report with the four-step wizard, and exporting individual slides to PowerPoint or PNG.
Generate your first Executive Report. For positioning and the slide list at a glance, see Executive Reports overview.
Executive Reports is in Preview. The feature works today; expect refinement as it evolves toward general availability.
Before you begin
Permissions required:
- Organization Admin (one-time enablement). Handled by your customer success manager.
- Space Viewer (or higher) on every space you want included. Generates reports and views them.
Prerequisites:
- At least one space with scanned assets in your organization.
- 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 on Executive Reports 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.
Generate a report
- In the side navigation, select Reporting → Executive.
- The four-step wizard opens at
/organization/reporting/generate. Page heading:Generate Executive Report.
Move through the steps in order. The wizard does not show field-level help text in the live UI; the explanations below describe what each field does.
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. Used to derive 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 in the wizard: 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 below the filter editor shows the count and names of every space that matches. For a board-level chapter, include every production space. Each space's assets contribute to the Executive Scorecard and per-business-unit breakdowns.
Step 3: Frameworks
Section heading in the wizard: Compliance Frameworks. Each framework you check here adds a Regulation slide to the deck. The Overall goal % you set on each framework drives the target line on its Regulation slide.
The list shows frameworks already enabled in at least one in-scope space. Each row has the framework name, the count of in-scope spaces where it's 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 what you select here.
Only frameworks enabled in an in-scope space appear here. If the list looks short, enable the frameworks you want covered in Space → Policies first, then return to the wizard.
Step 4: Review
Section heading in the wizard: 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 for each domain (for example, NIS2 Governance at 90 percent while Supply Chain Security stays at 85 percent).
When you're ready, click Generate Report (rendered uppercase by the product). Generation takes a few seconds to a minute depending on data volume. 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
.pptxfile. 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 % is blank. Enable the framework from Space → Policies, 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 this means 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 available on my plan? Yes. It's included in every Mondoo plan. No add-on SKU.
Can I edit the content of a section after it's generated? Not in-product. Sections are driven by 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? Five always-on content slides (plus a cover) and one Regulation slide for each framework you select at step 3 of the wizard. Selecting nothing at step 3 means a five-slide deck plus the cover; selecting three frameworks means eight slides plus the cover.
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 to generate the report? No. Report generation runs inside Mondoo. The PowerPoint is assembled on Mondoo's servers and downloaded via HTTPS.
Can I generate historical reports? Yes. The report renders against the timeframe of the data Mondoo has collected; pick the window in the viewer after generation.
