When you first sign in to SpartanX, the dashboard gives you a single view of your current security posture. It is designed to help you understand exposure quickly, prioritize what matters, and move into the parts of the platform that need action.
At the top of the screen, you can work with workspaces. This is useful for organizations that operate across different regions, business units, or environments. For example, you might maintain separate workspaces for a UK branch, a US branch, and a Japan branch. If you do not need that separation, you can simply work from the default main workspace.
You will also see an Activities area that highlights recent actions. This helps you understand what has changed recently without having to open multiple areas of the platform.
Understand the main dashboard widgets
The dashboard combines several views that help you assess risk from different angles.
Widget | What it shows | Why it matters |
Top Risk Score | SpartanX risk score for the environment | Helps you understand the urgency of the overall exposure |
Vulnerabilities | Total number of findings in the current workspace | Gives immediate visibility into workload and exposure |
Assets | Total tracked assets | Shows the scale of the environment being monitored |
Engagements | Red teaming and penetration testing engagements | Shows how much testing activity is in progress or completed |
Riskiest Collections | Collections with the highest risk concentration | Helps you prioritize the most exposed environment segments |
Vulnerability Breakdown | Severity distribution across findings | Helps you see whether risk is concentrated in critical issues or spread more broadly |
Top 10 Critical Vulnerabilities | Highest-priority findings across the workspace | Helps teams focus on the most urgent issues first |
Most Vulnerable Assets | Assets with the highest concentration of findings | Identifies where remediation effort is likely to be most impactful |
All Collections | Summary of every collection and its grading | Gives a broader view of risk across the environment |
How the risk score works
SpartanX uses CVSS as part of its analysis, but the platform also applies its own proprietary risk score. This score adds business and operational context beyond the base technical severity. In practice, that means the same vulnerability may carry a different priority depending on where it exists, how exploitable it is, and how difficult exploitation would be.
A vulnerability on a production system that supports a critical business process should not be treated the same way as the same issue on a low-value test server. SpartanX reflects that distinction directly in the dashboard.
How to use the dashboard effectively
The dashboard works best as your starting point each time you log in. Begin by checking the top risk score and overall vulnerability count, then review the riskiest collections and most vulnerable assets. From there, you can drill into the specific collection, asset, or engagement that requires immediate attention.
If you are new to the platform, the dashboard should be treated as your orientation layer. It tells you where the greatest risk sits, which engagements are most relevant, and where to go next for deeper analysis.
