Adding a single control
Roles and permissions
The following roles can add a control:
Administrators
Compliance managers
Users
Controls are the processes, procedures, activities, and/or tools that help your organization comply with requirements. They're essential for keeping your compliance efforts on track and reducing risks. Typically, controls are added to Hyperproof by importing them into an existing program. However, there may be times when you need to add one or more controls without using the import feature. See Importing your own controls.
Manually created controls are not automatically linked to other Hyperproof objects, See Linking controls to learn how to link new controls to other objects.
To add a control:
From the left menu, select Controls.
The Create new control window displays.
In the ID field, enter an ID for the control. The ID is required and must be unique across the organization.
In the Control name field, enter a name for the new control.
In the Description field, enter a detailed description of what the control requires. This field is required.
Example - For an Access Security control the description could be: A formal user access provisioning process shall be implemented to assign or revoke access rights for all user types to all systems and services.
In the Domain field, select an existing Domain or click Add a new domain to create a new one. A control domain is used to group related controls. This field is optional.
In the Assign by field, select either Individual or Group. This determines who is responsible for managing the control. The default setting is Individual.
If you selected Assign by Group, select a group from the Group drop-down list.
In the Owner field, select the user who will manage the control. If you selected a group, the list of possible owners is limited to the members of the selected group. If you selected Assign by Individual, the list of possible owners includes all users.
Click Create.
