Control Sets Overview

Overview 

Control Sets refer to an organization’s internal reference documents, such as company policies, and are made up of Controls, which represent individual statements within those documents. 

Control Sets act as internal guidelines and are based either on one or more Authorities that apply to an organization. You can create and Responsibilities associated with Controls and assign them to team members to ensure they are actioned.

The power of 6clicks lies in its flexibility. When designing an Assessment, the Questions that make up the assessment can be associated with either Controls (making up an Internal Control Set) or Provisions (making up an Authority). Similarly, Controls can be linked to Risks either as Current Controls to manage the risk, or as Planned Controls as part of a Risk Treatment Plan.

These associations provide transparency for teams to ensure relevant compliance obligations are fulfilled and Internal Control Sets are employed and managed appropriately.
