Users with the Threats and Vulnerabilities Manage permission can create categories, sub categories, and vulnerability compensating controls on the Vulnerability Compensating Controls grid. Vulnerability compensating controls are attached to vulnerabilities in order to mitigate risk, and categories are the containers used to organize the compensating controls or sub categories. As the root page only contains categories, each vulnerability compensating control must belong to a category.
