Overview
The Control Library is a central repository of pre-defined risk controls and mitigation measures that can be applied to risks across all projects. Maintaining a Control Library ensures consistency in how controls are described and prioritised throughout the organisation.
Control Library List
All existing controls are displayed in a filterable table. Use the Contains... filter fields at the top of each column to search within the list.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Domain Name | The risk domain or area the control belongs to (e.g. Financial Crime, IT Security) |
| Control Name | The name of the specific control measure |
| Specification Name | A description of the specification or standard the control is based on |
| Priority Value | A numeric priority value indicating the importance or urgency of the control |
| Control Library Notes | Additional notes or context about the control |
Example controls include:
| Domain | Control | Specification | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial Crime | Three Way match | Three Way Match | 1 |
| IT Security | Vulnerability Scanning | Out of date software monitoring | 5 |

Using Controls in Projects
Project users can reference the Control Library when defining treatment actions for risks, selecting controls directly from the pre-defined library. This promotes standardisation and allows the organisation to track which controls are being applied across projects.
