Issues & actions
Corrective actions
A corrective action is the remediation plan that fixes a Finding. It closes only once the fix has been verified.
- In the app
- Project → Identify & Remediate → Corrective Actions
Remediation loop
Failed assurance → Finding → Corrective action → Verification → Retest.
- 1Choose New Action (or Create remediation on a finding) and link the Finding it fixes.
- 2Add steps with owners and due dates. Steps can be Pending, In Progress, Completed, Blocked or Skipped.
- 3Work the plan. It moves through Not Started, In Progress, Blocked and Pending Verification.
- 4When every step is completed or skipped, choose Record Verification with evidence or a note. Approved marks the plan Verified; Rejected sends it back to In Progress.
- 5Choose Close Plan. A plan can close only when its latest verification is approved.
Completion is not effectiveness
Finishing the steps does not prove the control now works. Use the Re-assurance link to retest the control or evaluation that raised the finding, then update the finding's status.
