FOLDER SECURITY METRICS

The Folder Security Metrics dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of your NTFS folder permissions landscape. At a glance, view key statistics including total folder count, permission entries, data volume, active project folders, and folder depth analysis to understand the complexity of your file system security configuration.

Security Analysis

The Risk Analysis panel highlights potential security concerns using built-in filter rule presets. Quickly identify folders with inheritance breaks, over-exposed permissions, privileged access grants, and other common NTFS security anti-patterns. The Permissions Scopes breakdown shows how permissions are applied across your folder hierarchy - whether they affect this folder only, subfolders, files, or combinations thereof.

Permissions Analysis

Understand the distribution of basic permission types across your folders with both tabular and visual chart representations. See at a glance how many folders grant Read, Write, Modify, Full Control, and other access levels. This analysis helps identify permission sprawl and opportunities for consolidation using least-privilege principles.

Structural Details

The Folder Hierarchy Metrics section reveals the structural complexity of your file system. View maximum and average folder depth to identify deeply nested structures that may indicate maintenance challenges. The Permission Concentration analysis shows average and maximum permissions per folder, highlighting the folder with the most permission entries - a potential hotspot for security review and simplification.
