7. Workspace Frameworks

Framework Cards​

The workspace framework displays the list of frameworks that have been selected or created.

  • Frameworks are presented as individual cards.
  • Cards can be viewed either in a list or grid format.
  • Frameworks can be dragged and dropped to reorder them based on user preference for better organisation.

Overview​

Each framework is displayed as a card, providing key details and functionality to manage frameworks effectively. Below is a breakdown of the elements within each card:

Framework Name​

  • Displays the name of the framework.
  • Editable by the user. If an existing framework is selected, a default name is generated, which can be modified.

Date of Framework Creation​

  • Automatically generated when the framework is created.
  • This date cannot be edited.

Evidences​

  • Lists all uploaded evidence related to the framework.

Comments​

  • Allows users to add and view comments for better collaboration.

Description​

The description of the framework can be viewed by expanding the card.

“In Policies” Button:​

When enabled, this displays the compliance progress for the framework based on linked policies.

Linking Policies Controls for Frameworks​

1. Initial Setup​

When a new framework is imported or created:

  • All links are marked as "Missing".
  • Complete Links are set to "0".
  • Incomplete Links are set to "0".

When a policy control is linked to a framework category or subcategory:

  • The Missing Links count decreases by 1.
  • The Incomplete Links count increases by 1.

A link is considered Complete when the user indicates that all necessary connections between the framework categories/subcategories and policy controls have been finalised. To mark a link as Complete, the user must:

  • Navigate to the target category or subcategory card.
  • Go to the "Linked Control" section.
  • Update the status to "Completed".
