Remove Compensating Controls

If a vulnerability compensating control has been added to an entity in error or is no longer applicable to an entity, it can be removed by users with the Entity View, Threats and Vulnerabilities View, and Vulnerability Compensating Control Update permissions. Alternatively, users with the Entity View, Entity Manage, Threats and Vulnerability View, and Vulnerability Compensating Controls Update permissions can remove vulnerability compensating controls from multiple entities. Removing the vulnerability compensating control from the entity will not delete it.

Removing vulnerability compensating controls across multiple entities can only be done for compensating controls that the entities have in common.
