# Audit advanced analytics

Each compliance assessment carries an **Advanced Analytics** dashboard — a per-audit deep dive that goes beyond the requirement table. It answers the questions an assessor or reviewer actually has: which sections are weakest, how well are we covered with controls and evidences, what threats does this audit address, has our posture improved since the last revision?

The dashboard is gated by the [`advanced_analytics` feature flag](/ciso-assistant/product-docs/configuration/settings/feature-flags.md) (default off).

## Where this sits in the analytical stack

The platform offers three layers of analytical depth on top of the regular tables and dashboards. This page documents the **per-audit** layer:

| Surface                                                                           | Scope                                                         | Edition          | Gating                    |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------- |
| **Audit advanced analytics** (this page)                                          | One audit                                                     | Community        | `advanced_analytics` flag |
| [**Framework report**](/ciso-assistant/product-docs/features/framework-report.md) | One framework, every live audit using it                      | Community        | None (permission-gated)   |
| [**Insights**](/ciso-assistant/product-docs/features/insights.md) menu            | Cross-cutting (impact graph, priority/effort, Gantt timeline) | Enterprise (PRO) | None (permission-gated)   |

Pick the layer that matches the question you're asking — *is this audit healthy?*, *is this framework healthy across the whole organisation?*, *where should we focus across our entire estate?*

## Where to find it

1. Open a compliance assessment (`/compliance-assessments/<id>`).
2. Locate the **Insights** section in the side panel.
3. Click **Advanced Analytics** (orange chart-line icon).

The button is hidden when the feature flag is off, or for third-party users.

## What it shows

Eight analytical surfaces stream into the page — each loads independently, so the page paints progressively as data arrives:

| Section                             | Visualisation                                                                                                             | What it answers                                                                                                                                                                   |

| **Compliance by Section**           | Normalised stacked bars; optional implementation-score radar; optional documentation-score radar; per-section score table | How does each section of the framework fare — proportion compliant / partial / non-compliant / not-assessed, plus implementation and documentation scores when scoring is enabled |
| **Controls Coverage**               | Donut + breakdown                                                                                                         | What fraction of assessable requirements have at least one applied control linked, plus the status mix of those controls                                                          |

## When you'd use it

* **Closing-the-loop review** at the end of an assessment cycle — quick read on where to push next year.
* **Pre-audit dry run** — Controls Coverage and Evidence Coverage are the two surfaces that predict how a real audit will go.
* **Benchmarking** — Comparable Audits surfaces other instances of the same framework to look across.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://intuitem.gitbook.io/ciso-assistant/product-docs/features/audit-analytics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
