4.2.1 User Guardian Homepage

The homepage (Figure 23) is the entry screen to the system. In the final version the application will be protected by a login screen to access the system before the homepage. As this project is a proof of concept focusing on the functionality, the login screen and related coding has been set as outside of scope.

Figure 23 - Screen Shot of Homepage

The homepage displays four options to access the parts of the system mentioned in section 4.2 Graphical User Interface Design. The screen has been kept deliberately simple to use, for a non technical audience.

The numbers provided in the coloured boxes give an indication of the numbers of rules and applications already programmed within the system. By displaying the rule numbers it provides an indication of the complexity of the organisation. Fewer roles and resultant reports would enable simpler management by the compliance and IT security teams.
