Some details
The Cyber Independent Test Lab (CITL) is a nonprofit research organization that uses scientific data to advise consumers about software security. Addressing a lack of industry standards for measuring and testing security, they independently quantify risks of various software. The data in their reports was overwhelming to most people outside of industry experts, but they wanted the information to be accessible to the
average consumer. Their goal was to become the “Consumer Reports” of software security, providing the facts for people to make smarter choices so the industry can be safer.
The challenge was to address information overload and organize complex data so that it’s not confusing, while providing a new website to house the new reports and brand that supports their mission statement. We developed a new site structure based on user goals defined by research-validated personas, reports designed with progressive complexity, and a visual design language to communicates their goals.
