The Camms Control module lets you identify the effectiveness of the existing controls within your organisation. The Controls module will enable controls to function independently, with no mandatory links to Risk. Controls will operate as a standalone module, which can be combined with Camms products such as Risk and Compliance.

The Camms Control module will include features such as:

• A Control Register directly accessible from the left-hand navigation menu.

• Link and monitor Controls to additional entities.

• Add/edit/delete Controls against a Compliance record and assess the Control effectiveness against the linked record.

• A dedicated Settings area for Controls where you can configure the Control Rating, Field Configuration, Custom Lists, Control Register Configurations, and Email Notifications.

• Permissions to set granular level access to Controls.

• Option to configure the Control Register as the default homepage.

• Control Settings – To configure all Control Settings (Control Ratings, Field Configurations, Register Configurations, Custom Lists, and Notification Configurations), see article: Framework – Control Settings.

• Control Register – To view all created Controls, see article: Workflow – Control Register.

A Control can be created using the following three methods:

• Control Register – Access the Control Register via the left-hand navigation menu or via Menu > Workspace > Control Register, and click on the + New button at the top of the page. This will direct you to the 'Control Details' page.
