Link Artifacts to Controls via Requirements - Part 2

In our latest update, we're excited to enhance a feature introduced in the previous release. This feature simplifies the process of mapping artifacts to Universal Control Framework (UCF) controls in the Policy, Risk, and Audit Center modules. Now, we're taking it a step further by extending this capability to the Evidence and Findings modules. This expansion ensures a smoother and more integrated experience across our platform, enabling users to efficiently manage their compliance and control needs.

Enhanced Modules

The following modules now include the streamlined artifact-to-control mapping feature:

• Evidence

• Findings
