A control is the treatment used to lower a risk. It carries status, priority, category, an owner, and a due date, and can be linked to risks, compliance objectives, and documents. The same control can lower a risk and satisfy a framework’s objective at the same time—the list carries its own Risks and Objectives columns with the respective relation counts.

​
Create a control

Priority offers Low, Medium, High, and Critical.
Recurrence decides whether Docusnap365 sets a next due date after each piece of evidence. Every control carries the Evidence tab, one-time controls included. For details, see Documenting Evidence for Controls.
Unlike threats and vulnerabilities, the create dialog captures no description—you add one later on the detail page. A control can also be created directly from within a risk: it is created independently and is then linked to the risk.

​
KPIs and filters

The list carries four KPIs: Total, In Progress, Completed, and Overdue. Five buttons filter by Planned, In Progress, Implemented, Overdue, and Without Responsible Person—there is no dedicated button for the Open status. You can group the list by Status, Responsible, and Recurrence. Grouping and filters work as in every list; see Lists and filters.
Overdue filters on a due date before today and a status other than Implemented. An already-implemented control past its due date does not count as overdue.
Overdue and Without Responsible Person work well for a regular review: one shows due dates that have already passed, the other controls with no one accountable.

​
Bulk editing

The bulk selection offers Set Status, Assign Responsible, and Delete. The first two open bulk editing in the sidebar and are limited to that one field each.
Delete removes the selected controls directly, without going through the sidebar. The page’s KPIs recalculate afterward.
Documenting Evidence for Controls covers a control’s recurrence and evidence. For compliance, the control carries an Objectives tab with reference, name, category, and framework; clicking an objective opens its detail page. Objectives are assessed in Objectives.
