The metrics register

  • Management system. For example ISO 27001 or ISO 42001, from the systems active for you.
  • Unit. How the result is expressed, such as %, count, days, or hours. Keep the same unit every time.
  • Target. The result you are aiming for, in that unit, such as “≥ 95%” or “≤ 5 days”.
  • Owner. Who collects the result and acts when it misses the target.
  • Description. How it is calculated, where the data comes from, and how often it is reviewed.
  • Status. Draft while you are defining it, Active while it is monitored, Retired when it is no longer required.

Change a row

View, edit, or delete from the row. Search uses the metric name, the owner, and the description. Retiring a metric keeps the definition; it takes it out of the active count.
