Beyond Uptime: The Performance Metrics That Predict Compliance
Most organisations track uptime and ticket resolution time. But in the context of CERT-In, ISO 27001, and RBI assessments, these tell an incomplete story. Regulators ask about patch compliance rates, mean time to remediate vulnerabilities, backup restoration success rates, and access review completion — metrics that most operations teams don't track at all.
Average MTTR by Incident Severity (Hours) — Industry Benchmark
The 6 Performance Metrics That Compliance Experts Actually Check
- Patch Compliance Rate: % of systems patched within SLA. CERT-In expects critical patches within 6 hours. Industry average: 62%. Best-in-class: 94%+. Source: CIS Benchmarks 2024.
- Mean Time to Detect (MTTD): Time from breach to detection. Global median: 194 days. Organisations with monitoring controls: 21 days. Source: IBM Cost of Data Breach 2024.
- Backup Success Rate: % of scheduled backups completing successfully. ISO 27001 expects tested, documented recovery. Target: 99.5%+.
- Access Review Completion: % of quarterly access reviews completed on time. Many organisations complete fewer than 40% by deadline.
- Asset Inventory Coverage: % of live assets in the CMDB. Shadow IT reduces this below 70% in most mid-market enterprises.
- Vendor Risk Assessment Rate: % of critical vendors with current risk assessments. RBI mandates third-party risk programmes.
