Creating Findings

Findings are associated with controls that are non-compliant in an assessment. For each failed control, you can mark it as a finding to recognize its significance through impact and likelihood.

To create a Finding:

  1. Open the questionnaire by clicking the questionnaire in the My Assessments or by navigating to Home > Questionnaires and selecting Work on this Questionnaire or Resume Questionnaire from the actions menu in the questionnaire's row.

  2. In the Questionnaire window, for a control, select the sub-control. If there is more than one subcontrol, a table displays. Select the subcontrol title to open the question. The question displays.

  3. Click the Findings tab in the question and then click New.
  4. The Create Finding dialog appears. Enter Title, and select Individual, Impact, and Likelihood, and then click OK. Optionally, enter Description, and select Team, residual Impactand residual Likelihood. Residual impact and likelihood are the future estimated values for the impact and probability of occurrence after a necessary action has been taken for a finding.

  5. The finding is created.
