Remediation and retest

Move a failed control from finding to corrective action and independent retest.

Step by step

  1. Record findings Control Owner

    The Control Owner opens a finding for a failed control test, names the severity and links the assessment and control.

    • Opens linked exception
    • Updates Findings, Assessment tests, Controls
  2. Assign corrective action Control Owner

    A named owner receives the action, due date and expected evidence. The action moves through planned and in progress work toward submission.

    • Gives corrective work an owner and due date
    • Updates Corrective actions, Team members
  3. Retest finding Independent Assurance Reviewer

    The Independent Assurance Reviewer records a dated retest with evidence and a pass, fail or inconclusive outcome.

    • Records independent result and evidence
    • Updates Retests, Findings
  4. Close finding Independent Assurance Reviewer

    A passing retest supports closure. A fail or inconclusive outcome keeps the finding in follow-up and the original failed test visible.

    • Resolves finding after passing evidence
    • Updates Findings, Corrective actions, Retests
