Reports
The Reports feature lets you generate formatted governance reports for compliance audits, executive review, and operational analysis.
Overview
TheWARDN captures a complete record of every governance decision, violation, and agent action. The Reports feature transforms this data into structured documents that can be exported, shared, and submitted to auditors.
Export Formats
All reports can be exported in two formats:
| Format | Best For |
|---|---|
| Compliance submissions, executive presentations, formal record-keeping | |
| CSV | Data analysis in spreadsheets, importing into BI tools, custom processing |
Report Types
Governance Summary
A high-level overview of governance activity for a specified time period:
- Total actions governed
- Verdict breakdown (cleared / held / blocked) with percentages
- Active agent count
- Active policy count
- Trend comparison vs. previous period
- Top action types by volume
- Top agents by volume
Violation Report
A detailed record of all governance violations:
- Violation count by severity (CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW)
- Violation count by type (SGP_VIOLATION, CHAM_VIOLATION, etc.)
- List of all violations with timestamps, agents, and descriptions
- Resolution status tracking
- Repeat violation identification
Compliance Audit Report
Designed for external auditor consumption:
- Hash chain integrity verification results
- Policy inventory with configurations
- Agent registry with access controls
- Governance mode history (when modes were changed)
- Escrow decision log (who approved/rejected, when)
- Violation log with resolution records
- Complete audit trail for the reporting period
TIP
Run a hash chain verification before generating a compliance audit report. A passing verification strengthens the report by confirming that no audit records have been altered.
Agent Activity Report
Focused on a single agent's governance history:
- Total actions submitted
- Verdict breakdown
- Policies most frequently triggered
- Violations attributed to the agent
- Tier distribution of actions
- Activity timeline
Configuration Options
All reports support the following configuration:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Date Range | Start and end date for the reporting period |
| Agent Filter | Include only specific agents |
| Action Type Filter | Include only specific action types |
| Verdict Filter | Include only specific verdicts |
WARNING
Large date ranges with no filters may produce very large reports. Use filters to scope the report to the data you need, especially for CSV exports that may contain thousands of rows.
Scheduling Reports
Reports can be generated on demand from the console. For recurring report needs, use the date range selector to maintain consistent reporting periods (e.g., always generating a monthly summary for the preceding calendar month).
