Violation of regulatory requirements can harbor different risks for companies. To evaluate these risks, you can apply risk indexes to attestation policies. These risk indexes provide information about the risk involved for the company if this particular policy is violated. Once the risks have been identified and evaluated, mitigating controls can be implemented.
Mitigating controls are independent on One Identity Manager’s functionality. They are not monitored through One Identity Manager.
Mitigating controls describe controls that are implemented if an attestation rule was violated. The attestation can be approved after the next attestation run, once controls have been applied.
To edit mitigating controls
- In the Designer, set the QER | CalculateRiskIndex configuration parameter and compile the database.
If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are no longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
For more information about risk assessment, see the One Identity Manager Risk Assessment Administration Guide.
