Comprehensive. Timely. Assured
Comprehensive – Are we capturing all non-compliance or control failures?
Breach and exceptions tickets can originate from missed governance tasks, failed controls, audit findings, risk treatments, or manual inputs. Categorization ensures no issue is overlooked.
Timely – Are exceptions handled before they impact operations or audits?
Each ticket is assigned an owner and escalation logic. Dashboards highlight overdue or unacknowledged tickets in real time.
Assured – Do we have full closure and evidence for each ticket?
All breach and exceptions go through multi-level reviews, evidence collection, and sign-offs—ensuring complete accountability and audit readiness.
