Control Health

Automated health indicators for controls — Green, Yellow, Red status and resolve sidebar.

Written by James Ross

Overview

Every control has an automated health indicator that assesses whether the control is being properly maintained. The health status is based on linked risks, evidence sources, and review dates.

Health Status Levels

Control health is displayed as a colour-coded indicator:

  • Green — "Healthy" — the control is in good standing

  • Yellow — "Needs monitoring" — there are issues that should be addressed

  • Red — "Needs attention" — there are critical gaps that require immediate action

Conditions for Green (Healthy)

A control shows Green when all of the following are true:

  • Linked risks are present

  • Evidence sources are present

  • The review date is not due soon (more than 30 days away)

Conditions for Yellow (Needs Monitoring)

A control shows Yellow when any of the following are true:

  • No evidence sources have been added (but linked risks are present and review is on time)

  • The review date is due soon (within approximately 20–30 days)

Conditions for Red (Needs Attention)

A control shows Red when any of the following are true:

  • The review date is overdue (in the past)

  • No linked risks and no evidence sources

Health Resolve Sidebar

Clicking the health indicator opens a sidebar to resolve outstanding issues:

  • Each issue is listed as a numbered step with an input field

  • Fill in all required fields

  • Click Resolve All to save and close

  • The health indicator updates to reflect the resolved state

If the control is healthy (Green), the sidebar shows "no outstanding items."

Important: Health is calculated on page load. After resolving issues, refresh the page to see the updated indicator.
