I redesigned the Admin Portal — building a connected

system of dashboards, data tables, and navigation that

made the organizational security legible for the first time.

This case study centers on the Admin Portal, the core of Uniqkey’s management experience.

In my role as Lead Designer, I worked across a global ecosystem of platforms, ensuring consistency for the:

Dashboard evolution.

⚠️

The CHALLENGE

Admins couldn't understand their organization's security posture without manual investigation across multiple disconnected screens.

Context Uniqkey's Admin Panel was the product's most critical decision-making surface.

Enterprise IT admins — in governments, financial institutions, leading European corporations — used it daily to manage organizational security.

The Average Security Score existed as a single number. No one understood where it came from, what affected it, or what to do about it.

Users were confused. The business couldn't see why.

That's why the redesign was initiated.

Dashboard

Different roles,

One unified feedback

  • Bulky widgets hinder key info perception.
  • Admin panel is complex and time-consuming.
  • Limited customization for role-based data.
  • Unclear security score guidance.

Compliance Officer

“ I don’t fully understand how to improve the Average Security score. The UI doesn’t provide clear guidance on how to enhance these metrics.”

Systems Administrator

“ Relevant information is not always visible on

the dashboard. More customization is needed

to display data by company priorities and roles.”

Operations Manager

“ The dashboard widgets appear too bulky, making

key information harder to perceive. Data configuration is also challenging, and setup takes longer than expected.”

HR Manager

“ The admin panel is quite complex, taking a lot

of time to manage employees and service access. More intuitive settings would be appreciated.”

HOW I

APPROACHED IT

Working closely with the Product Owner and incorporating insights

and strategic clarifications from the Chief Product Officer, I built

the information architecture and user flows from scratch.

I mapped out how data moved between screens and

how ach layer contributed to the overall security picture.

The underlying logic was presented to and validated

by the business team.

REDESIGNED

AVERAGE SECURITY SCORE

A main issue - just a single score number.

Admins either ignore it or are anxious about it.

  • No explanation of what drives it.
  • No path to view details or act on them.

The Score is now

a connected indicator:

Organisation-level overview Shows current security health and trend direction. Employee breakdown Which team members affect the score and how navigable directly from the dashboard.

Data items breakdown Which passwords, cards, or secure notes create risk weak, reused, missing 2FA. Direct action paths  from every insight to the relevant management screen one click.

THE SHIFT

The redesign wasn't about aesthetics. It was about making the system explain itself, enabling intuitive navigation and confident organization management.

The admin no longer asks "what does this number mean?".

They choose, "Which of these do I fix first?". That's the shift!

ADMIN DASHBOARD

The new dashboard is the entry point to organizational security designed around one question: "What does my organization's security look like right now — and what needs my attention?"

KEY CHANGES

Security Score

Now explainable The score is no longer

a black box. Admins see which factors drive it and can navigate directly

to the source.

Navigation

Always oriented Admins always know where they are, what they're looking at, and how to get back. Previously, users got lost. Now the system guides them.

Information hierarchy

Decision-first Critical alerts surface immediately. Secondary data is accessible but doesn't compete for attention..

REDESIGNED 2/2

ADMIN DASHBOARD

After Iteration 1: Navigation improved, but the visual system still felt overly consumer-oriented for enterprise buyers—such as governments and financial institutions—who expect a more formal, restrained aesthetic. Not a rebrand, but just a recalibration for the audience.

THE SHIFT

From: rounded elements, vibrant colors, visual noise

To: sharp geometry, muted palette, refined typography, reduced decoration

The result: an interface that enterprise clients describe as professional and trustworthy — before they read a single data point.

BUSINESS IMPACT

The product update contributed to 35% annual revenue growth — alongside the efforts of sales, marketing,

and the broader team. Design was one of the inputs,

not the only one.

The product expanded beyond Scandinavia into new European markets and was featured at international cybersecurity summits.

DESIGN SYSTEM

The Admin Portal was the foundation for everything that followed. As the system scaled across platforms, I transitioned our UI Kit into a token-based Design System —making the case that the investment would compound on every future feature.

Foundation layer:

  • Typography
  • Color tokens
  • Spacing
  • Effects

Component library:

  • Variants
  • States
  • Auto-layout
  • Constraints

Development integration:

  • Figma Dev Mode
  • Documentation
  • Token system
