The monthly report

Your security, explained on one page.

On the first of every month, Vikelus prepares a report for the month before. An F1 engineer reviews it, then it comes to you. Nothing is sent automatically.

What's inside

The same layout every month.

So you can compare one month with the next at a glance.

  • A short summary in plain language.
  • Six headline tiles, explained below.
  • Your devices: which are healthy and fully patched.
  • Website and email security: what is checked, and your rating when it is B or better.
  • Looking ahead: what F1 will work on next.
  • An appendix listing every vulnerability patched that month, so anyone can verify it at nvd.nist.gov.

The six tiles

What each number means.

Multi-factor authentication
Whether a second step (like an app prompt) is required when your team signs in to Microsoft 365. It shows Enforced when Microsoft's security defaults are on, or a policy requires it for everyone.
Devices protected
How many of your devices had healthy endpoint protection and were seen during the month, out of all the devices in scope.
Critical vulnerabilities fixed
Serious weaknesses closed during the month: those rated 9 or higher out of 10, or on CISA's list of actively exploited ones. Each is counted only once the fixed version is seen installed.
Active threats stopped
Threats your endpoint protection detected and stopped during the month.
Open security issues
What is still open at the end of the month: open protection alerts plus open high and critical vulnerabilities.
Overall risk level
Low, Medium or High, worked out with a fixed formula from actively exploited and critical vulnerabilities, devices not seen for over two weeks, and unhealthy protection. If it isn't Low, this tile shows how many devices are fully patched instead, so you see the next thing to improve.
Why you can trust the numbers

Calculated, checked, then sent by a person.

Every number in the report is calculated from the data Vikelus collected that month, and can be traced back to it. The wording comes from fixed templates, and the report is rejected if any number in the text doesn't match the calculation. Vikelus uses no AI.

If a data source fails, no report is produced and F1 is told, rather than you getting a report with gaps. Then an F1 engineer reads every report before it is sent to you.
