Why Compliance Leaders Use The Report Hub to Measure Awareness and Reduce Risk

Published on

When it comes to cyber risk, silence isn’t safety — it’s a signal. If you’re not tracking how human risk is changing inside your business, your attackers might be.

That’s why today’s security and compliance leaders need more than checklists — they need proof. Proof that awareness training is reducing risk. Proof that compliance frameworks like GDPR, ISO 27001, and NIS2 are being met. Proof that employees are engaging with phishing simulations, policies, and ongoing security education.

In this blog, we’ll show how usecure’s Report Hub helps organisations and MSPs move beyond tick-box reporting into audit-ready, people-focused compliance evidence. You’ll learn how to:

  • Turn awareness and phishing data into risk metrics that matter
  • Prove compliance with frameworks like GDPR, ISO 27001, and emerging standards (NIS2, DORA, CMMC)
  • Provide stakeholder-ready reports for HR, Legal, and the board
  • Build defensibility into your security programme with clear, measurable outcomes

From Reporting Fatigue to Compliance Readiness

This blog is written for security and compliance leaders who are responsible for managing risk — and proving it. If you’re spending too much time chasing reports, aligning stakeholders, or defending your awareness programme, this is for you.


The Report Hub isn’t just another dashboard. It’s a control centre for demonstrating due diligence, tracking change over time, and communicating the state of your human risk posture — in a language that stakeholders understand.

You can’t fix what you can’t measure. And you can’t defend what you can’t explain. Report Hub turns raw awareness data into clear, credible reports that help teams understand:

  • Where security behaviours are improving — or stagnating
  • How users are progressing through learning
  • Who is engaging with phishing simulations
  • Whether policy compliance is on track
  • Which areas demand immediate attention

This is especially important when over

52% of risk and compliance professionals’ time is consumed by monitoring tasks and manual data entry — often without a centralised tool to simplify or scale the process. Inefficiency and duplication are still rampant, with 38% of organisations rating themselves poorly at providing staff with easy access to policies or audit status.

Why Visibility Matters for NIS2, ISO 27001 and Beyond

For many organisations, awareness training is a checkbox. A box ticked in onboarding. A once-a-year campaign. But when regulators, clients, or the board ask: “What’s changed?”, generalities won’t do.

That’s why visibility matters.

  • Performance reports connect the dots between awareness, behaviour, and risk reduction
  • Breakdowns by time, team, and topic help security leads move from reaction to strategy
  • Real-time insights surface risks before they become headlines

Without structured visibility, compliance efforts suffer — 47% of compliance professionals cite employee training and attestation as their top challenge. Combine that with the reality that human error still drives the majority of breaches — 52% in higher education alone — and it becomes clear: you can’t manage what you can’t see.

With Report Hub, you’re not just running a programme — you’re running a measurable initiative.

Proving Compliance with People-Focused Reporting (GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001)

Modern compliance frameworks — from GDPR to ISO 27001 to the DOJ’s compliance evaluation guidance — aren’t satisfied with theoretical programmes. They ask:

“How do you know it’s working?”
“Where’s the evidence?”


The Report Hub answers with defensibility.
It gives you the artefacts, timelines, and audit-readiness you need to show that your programme isn’t just designed — it’s alive.

It also supports emerging frameworks built for growing organisations. For example, SMB1001 — a new global cybersecurity standard tailored to small and mid-sized businesses — emphasises evidence-based reporting and awareness tracking as critical components for certification-readiness. Report Hub helps bring those requirements to life.

  • Automated reports maintain a consistent cadence for internal review
  • Custom PDFs simplify communication with regulators and executives alike
  • Scheduled delivery keeps key stakeholders in the loop — without the legwork

This isn’t just about checking boxes. Non-compliance is expensive — breaches tied to poor compliance cost 12.6% more on average, and the cost of non-compliance can be 3x higher than maintaining compliance. With legal and regulatory actions affecting 1 in 5 organisations in the past three years, visibility and proof are non-negotiable.

Enabling Legal, HR and Managers with Actionable Human Risk Reports

Awareness doesn’t live in a silo. And neither should reporting.

Security leaders can use Report Hub to translate technical progress into business context, aligning with the priorities of:

  • Legal teams: who need proof of procedural diligence
  • People & HR: who care about engagement, learning, and cultural shifts
  • Line managers: who want to support their teams but lack the visibility

With ready-to-present reports, you can shift the conversation from “we think it’s working” to “here’s how it’s working.”

This is critical when 38% of organisations struggle to track whether staff have even read policies, and just 62% are confident their policies are current and consistent across teams. Report Hub closes these gaps.

Ready to Prove Human Risk and Compliance Impact?

Security awareness and policy training are no longer enough on their own — not when regulators, insurers, and stakeholders want proof of impact.

With usecure’s Report Hub, you can:

  • Track how human risk is changing over time
  • Share stakeholder-ready reports that show measurable progress
  • Build defensibility into your awareness and compliance efforts

Today, security awareness and policy training aren’t enough on their own — not when regulators, insurers, and boards demand evidence of impact. Without structured reporting, you risk compliance gaps, higher breach costs, and weaker stakeholder trust.

Report Hub, part of usecure’s Human Risk Management platform, gives SMBs, mid-market organisations, and MSPs a control centre for:
✔️ Tracking how human risk is changing over time
✔️ Generating audit-ready compliance reports instantly
✔️ Demonstrating progress against global frameworks (GDPR, NIS2, DORA, HIPAA, ISO 27001, CMMC)
✔️ Aligning security, HR, and compliance teams with actionable insights

Because in 2025 and beyond, it’s not just about what you’re doing — it’s about what you can prove.
