Overview
The control detail page is where you manage an individual control — its attributes, evidence sources, linked risks, assurance records, and review cycle. This article covers all fields and actions available on a control.
Control Header
The top of the control detail page displays:
Title — click to edit via an inline modal. Changes save without a full page reload.
Description — click to edit via an inline modal
Status badge — colour-coded (Active, Inactive, Draft)
Control Attributes
Three attribute cards are displayed on the control detail page. Click each card to open a modal and select a value:
Category — options: Preventive, Detective, Corrective
Type — options: Manual, Automated, Hybrid
Effectiveness — effectiveness levels with colour badges (e.g. Effective = green)
Attribute values persist across page reloads and are displayed with their colours.
Linked Risks
The linked risks section shows risks connected to this control:
Each entry shows the risk title, inherent rating, residual rating, and status
Click Link Risks to open a modal showing available (unlinked) risks
Select a risk and save — the linked risk count increments
Click unlink on a risk to remove the link (the risk itself is not deleted)
Evidence Sources
Evidence sources document the proof that a control is operating effectively:
Quick Steps
Open a control detail page
Locate the Evidence Sources section
Click Add Evidence Source
Enter a title, description, and source type (e.g. "External URL", "Linked Activity")
Save — the new evidence source appears in the list
You can also:
Edit — click on an evidence source to open the modal pre-filled with existing data
Delete — click delete and confirm. The linked document or activity is not deleted.
Link an activity — select "Linked Activity" as the source type and search for a process activity
Assurance Recording
You can record assurance results to track whether a control is operating as intended:
Click Record Assurance
Enter a date, result (e.g. "Effective", "Ineffective"), and notes
Save — the assurance record appears in the history list
Assurance history is ordered by date descending — the most recent record is visually highlighted (bold, badge, or background colour).
Review Cycle
The review field shows the current review date and cycle
Click the review date field to open the review modal
Set a cycle (e.g. "Quarterly") and save
The next review date is auto-calculated
Sign-Off
When a review is due, a sign-off button appears:
Click sign-off to record the review
The next review date advances based on the cycle
The sign-off appears in the review history
Ineligible users will see the button disabled or hidden.
Activation
Activate — requires title, description, category, and type. Validation errors appear if required fields are missing.
Deactivate — changes status to Inactive. Control data is not deleted.
Current Task Card
The overview panel displays a current task card showing:
Task title, due date, assigned to, status chip, timing chip
A View task button to open the task sidebar
