v6.87 (February 2024)

New features and general improvements in GlobalSuite® GRC

New Historical Evidence-Controls View

The recent improvement in the visualization of evidence and controls, implemented in Control Management, is now complemented by the new view also incorporated in the Historical section.

This new view enhances the user experience by facilitating the visualization and management of evidence related to the controls of the stored historical records.

This functionality provides a consolidated view that clearly and accessibly displays the evidence associated with each control, without the need to access the details of each control. This way, users can quickly get an overview of the evidence without having to perform multiple individual accesses.

This improvement not only saves the user time by avoiding the need to review each control separately but also provides greater transparency and efficiency in control management by enabling faster identification of those with associated evidence.

Main Features

• Consolidated View

  • Allows easy visualization of which controls have associated evidence and which do not, from the main table.

  • Visualization of evidence without the need to access the details of each control individually.

  • Both the information of the evidence and the corresponding controls and their dimensions will be displayed.

• Attachment Download

  • It will be possible to directly download the attached documents linked to each piece of evidence from the Evidence-Controls view, from the “Documentation” field.

• CSV Report Download

  • A CSV Report of the new Evidence-Controls view can be downloaded.

  • Customization of the fields included in the report according to user preferences.

Access to the New View

To access this new option, go to Analysis > Historical, and upon entering the Controls/Actions view of a risk analysis, click on Show > Evidence/Controls.

CSV Report

My Tickets Read-Only

This new improvement allows configuring a specific sub-role with read-only privileges in the My Tickets option. This offers the possibility to model and manage user access levels more precisely in relation to tickets.

Administrators will be able to assign the Read-Only sub-role to My Tickets for specific users, restricting their ability to make changes or modifications to tickets from this option.

These features provide precise control over the actions that read-only users can perform in the application, ensuring they do not make unauthorized modifications while maintaining access to information relevant to their role.

Main Features

Access to the Main Table:

• A user with the read-only sub-role in "My Tickets" will not be able to create or delete tickets from the main view.

• Despite this, read-only users will be able to access a ticket form via a direct link.

Access to the Ticket Form:

A user with the read-only sub-role in "My Tickets" will have the following actions restricted:

• Create new items associated with the ticket.

• Delete items from any table associated with the ticket.

• Edit any field in the tables.

• Save changes in the form.

Filtering, Sorting, and Downloading Tickets:

Although there are editing limitations, read-only users will still be able to filter, sort, and download the tickets they own.

The ability to view all tickets of any type and status where the employee associated with the user is the owner will be maintained.

Configuration

New Compliance and Gap Analysis Reports

From now on, it will be possible to download reports in CSV format in the Compliance and GAP Analysis options containing complete information about the catalogs and all their details.

This improves data exploitation capabilities, decision-making, and facilitates tracking.

• The report will be downloaded in CSV format and will be available in Pending Downloads.

Integration API with Controls and Evidence

To continue expanding the possibility of connecting GlobalSuite® with other proprietary or third-party information systems, automating updates to keep them always up-to-date, or automating the extraction of information for further study, in this product version we have incorporated capabilities to interact with the Controls of the Risk Analysis in GlobalSuite®, as well as the Evidence associated with them, allowing various actions to be automated. This expands the Risk APIs released in the v6.83 version of GlobalSuite (December 2023).

Main Features

• The consultation and retrieval of controls from an analysis, with the dimension assessment defined in the associated Control Methodology, is available.

• It is possible to create, modify, and delete controls as well as their actions, in addition to assessing their manual dimensions, with the ability to update automatic dimensions using the GlobalSuite® calculation engine whenever desired.

• It is also possible to add evidence and associate it with those controls to monitor their effectiveness, as well as provide new files to leave a trace of them.

By using the APIs, you can integrate GlobalSuite® with other applications, tools, or systems in your corporate ecosystem. For example:

• You can automate the creation of records from other tools.

• Synchronize information to export it to another tool for its data processing.

• Export records to store them in a repository or data lake (EDL).

If you want to start testing or using the GlobalSuite® APIs, contact your provider.

In upcoming versions, we will incorporate additional capabilities for the product's automatic interaction. If you want more information about the APIs, you can consult it here.
