Collecting proof - Control and label freshness
Freshness is an automated reminder to review and test the evidence on a control or label. When freshness expires, the control or label manager determines if it needs to be updated and creates a task to collect updated evidence.
When you set a freshness policy, you define its expiration period. At the end of this period, the freshness status automatically changes from Fresh to Expired.
You can view the freshness status of your controls and labels on the Program dashboard. The Freshness widgets display the number of controls or labels that are Expired, Unknown, Fresh, or Not set. Click one of the category totals to access the list of controls or labels in that category.
