The Challenge
Enterprise security teams were struggling with CloudCheckr's existing compliance interface. Critical security violations were buried in dense tables, making it nearly impossible to quickly identify and prioritize threats across multiple compliance frameworks.
The Solution
I created a visual-first compliance dashboard that transforms complex regulatory data into clear, actionable insights with intuitive progress indicators, trend visualization, and streamlined workflows.
Visual Progress Tracking
Clear progress bars and trend charts make compliance status immediately understandable.
Framework Integration
Unified view across HIPAA, NIST, CIS, and PCI DSS compliance frameworks.
Actionable Insights
Prioritized recommendations with clear next steps for remediation.
Transforming Complex Data into Clear Insights
The original interface buried critical compliance information in dense tables. My redesign prioritizes visual clarity and actionable insights.
Framework-Specific Insights
Each compliance framework required unique visualization approaches to highlight the most critical controls and violations.
HIPAA Compliance
Healthcare-specific controls with emphasis on data encryption, access controls, and audit logging requirements.
Redesigned Controls
Streamlined control interface with clear pass/fail indicators and immediate access to remediation guidance.
Multi-Framework Approach
The redesigned interface accommodates the unique requirements of each compliance framework while maintaining a consistent user experience. HIPAA focuses on healthcare data protection, CIS emphasizes security best practices, NIST provides comprehensive cybersecurity guidelines, and PCI DSS ensures payment card data security. Each framework's specific requirements are clearly visualized with appropriate color coding and progress indicators.
The Complete Solution
The final dashboard provides enterprise security teams with comprehensive compliance visibility and actionable insights across all major frameworks.
Unified Overview
Single dashboard view of compliance status across all frameworks with trend analysis and historical data.
Progress Tracking
Visual progress indicators show compliance percentages and highlight areas requiring immediate attention.
Actionable Insights
Clear recommendations and next steps for addressing compliance gaps and maintaining security posture.
The redesigned compliance dashboard transformed how enterprise security teams interact with regulatory requirements, turning complex compliance data into clear, actionable insights that drive better security outcomes.
Conclusions and Reflections
The CloudCheckr compliance redesign taught me valuable lessons about transforming complex enterprise data into actionable insights. Working with security teams across different industries helped me understand how compliance requirements vary and how design can bridge the gap between regulatory complexity and user comprehension.
What Worked Well
Key Learnings
Impact on Security Operations
This project reinforced how thoughtful design can significantly impact operational efficiency in high-stakes environments. The compliance dashboard became a central tool that security teams relied on daily, transforming how they approached regulatory requirements. The visual-first approach not only improved individual productivity but also enhanced team communication around compliance issues. This experience shaped my understanding of how design can bridge the gap between complex technical requirements and practical business needs, especially in enterprise security contexts.
