What a CISO should look at in Atlas

What a CISO should look at in Atlas

You're asked three questions repeatedly: what's in our stack, who owns it, and where are the risks. Atlas gives you a view for each.

View 1 — Vendor concentration

Applications grouped by vendor. If one vendor covers 40% of your critical-path applications, that's a concentration risk worth escalating. Go to /platform/applications → Vendors.

View 2 — Unowned applications

Applications without an owner are orphan risks. Nobody patches them, nobody knows when they're end-of-life. The Unowned filter in Applications surfaces them. Target: zero unowned critical apps.

View 3 — Data classification vs. application

Atlas doesn't do DLP, but it does tag applications with the sensitivity classes of data they handle. Pull the applications tagged with customer-personal-data and verify they have encryption, logging, and a current DPA. Gaps here are compliance findings in waiting.

Quarterly rhythm

Once a quarter, export the Decisions log and read every ADR touching security. Look for the pattern of decisions being deferred. Deferred security decisions compound.
