Setting Control Response Options

Associating a questionnaire presentation option with a program will allow stakeholders to perform a wide variety of control response actions while answering a questionnaire. At a program level, failed controls are addressed using the control response mechanism. In the program options, a program owner can configure control response mechanisms to restrict stakeholders from performing several control response actions.

Control response options are unavailable in the program options if you are creating a Key Risk Monitoring (KRI) program.

The following are some of the common control response settings that are available in a program and questionnaire presentation options.

When you choose one or more options to customize, the changes that affect the questionnaire and Control Results page of the Assessment Details are listed below.
