Relationship Types Overview

RiskVision defines several entity relationship types. Each relationship type includes propagation and inheritance settings that allow the entities to share controls and show aggregate scores. Propagation and inheritance settings can be specified separately for each direction of a bi-directional relationship.

  • Propagate Control Results: Automatically import questionnaires and check results into assessments of the To entity.
  •  Propagate Risk Score. Shows aggregated scores of all From entity assessments in assessments of the To entity.

    Use score with propagate controls.

Only set propagation for policies, results, and scores in one direction of a relationship pair. For example, enable propagation on either the Parent of or the Child of relationship to avoid looping.The Relationships tab of the Entity Configuration screen.

 To configure entity relationships:

  1. Go to Configuration > Entity Configuration.
  2. On the Relationships tab, select any of the relationship types.
  3. Click Edit. The Relationship Type dialog displays.
  4. Modify the settings, click OK, and click Save.

Programs and scores for entities with the relationship are updated immediately.
