Requesting Global Exceptions

This section explains how to request global exceptions for entities that are out-of-compliance with a control or subcontrol and you want to override the questionnaire and check results in the compliance and risk scores. The RiskVision solution applies the exception to all assessments with the entity-subcontrol pair. Setting an exception at the control level propagates the override to the subcontrols. If the questionnaire contained a subcontrol only, the global exception applies. You can also create an exception for a finding to override the finding's risk score. In order to request an exception, you must have Exception View and Exception Request permissions.
