Exception Management enables organizations to efficiently handle and document vulnerability exceptions. It provides a controlled process for requesting, reviewing, and approving exceptions to vulnerable findings, ensuring transparency and compliance. By automating workflows and capturing exception justifications, it helps reduce operational bottlenecks while maintaining risk visibility and audit readiness.
- Manual and Automated Exception Request and Approval Workflow - Streamline the process of submitting, reviewing, and approving exception requests with customizable workflows that ensure accountability and speed up decision making.
- Comprehensive Exception Tracking and Audit Trails - Maintain full visibility into all exceptions with detailed records of approvals, justifications, and timelines to support compliance and audit readiness.
Changed:
- Renamed "Request for Risk Reduction" to "Request for Risk Change" throughout the exception request form to better reflect the ability to request both risk increases and reductions.
- Risk rating dropdown now prevents selecting the current rating to avoid invalid submissions.
- Approval records now track whether a risk change request is for an increase, reduction, or general change.
- No additional system requirements. This update is fully compatible with existing Exception Management and Compensating Controls configurations
