Compliance structure

In the compliance it’s possible to manage policies, sections, controls and tests/tasks. A policy is a list of rules and guidelines which can be written out in sections. Policies can then be grouped into folders. Within a policy or section it’s possible to create controls. These controls can be tested and reviewed. Additional to this, tasks can be added to a policy/section or control which can not be reviewed or repeated.

Definitions

A folder is a collection of policies. Folders can be used to organize policies into different maps to give a more structured overview.

A folder can be recognized by the ‘map’ icon.

A policy is a law, regulation, procedure, administrative action, incentive, or voluntary practice of governments and other institutions. A policy can be divided into more policies or sections.

A policy can be recognized by the ‘books’ icon.

A section is a part of a policy. Sections can also have subsections to structurize the policy.

A section can be recognized by the ‘Page’ icon.

Control is the part of the process designed to accomplish a goal. Controls can be added to a policy or section. Controls can be tested with tests.

A control can be recognized by the ‘Open book’ icon.

A test is an action to see if the control is in place. A test can be assigned to a user with a deadline. Tests can be reviewed by another user to see if the test is completed successfully.

A test can be recognized by the ‘Clipboard’ icon.

A task is an action that can be assigned to a policy, section or control. Tasks can be assigned to a user with a deadline. Tasks can not be reviewed and this is the main difference between a test and a normal task.

A task can be recognized by the ‘Check’ icon.
