Controls/provisions linked to an assessment question in a risk/issue are linked to the assessment question, automatically pulling through the control/provision when a risk/issue is added to the risk register from the assessment module (QBA/RBA).

  • Once a new control or authority is added to a question in the Assessment module (RBA and QBA), the control or authority will automatically be added to the issue and linked automatically.
