Start with the topic that matches the task in front of you, whether that is running a framework assessment, mapping evidence to controls, or exporting an audit pack. Every guide opens with a short definition, then walks the steps in order.

New to RiskWatch? Read the Assessments and Dashboard guides first, then branch into the specific settings and reporting topics as you configure your program. The compliance module shares its data with the rest of the platform, so anything you score here feeds your wider governance, risk, and compliance picture instead of sitting in a silo.
