Common questions about Settings

What does the Settings module integrate with?+

There is nothing to wire up, the integrations are native.

It is one of 38 screens that make up the Compliance module. Most teams reach it from the compliance dashboard while running an assessment or reviewing posture. See the related-topics sidebar for the workflows it feeds into and the upstream screens that feed it.
