Common questions about Settings

What does the Settings module integrate with?+

The Settings screen shares records with the rest of the RiskWatch compliance suite: Settings Module, Overview of Narrative, Narrative Sub-Module, Narrative questionnaires, plus the cross-mapping engine that connects compliance controls to other frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST 800-53, and PCI DSS. There is nothing to wire up, the integrations are native.

Where does the Settings fit in the RiskWatch compliance workflow?+

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.
