POLICIES are pointless unless the organization follows them. To ensure compliance, organizations must periodically test for compliance. Controls Manager facilitates this process in two steps.

Document your controls

Essentially your ‘recipes’ for testing compliance with a particular policy or policies.

Test those controls

Run the recipes and record the results. Use Controls Manager to:

  • Document your control procedures
  • Assign responsibility for different controls
  • Automate scheduling of control tests, including alerts
  • Record test results

With Controls Manager you can see at a glance all your controls, whether your testing is on schedule and if you have had any test failures.
