QuestionQ210

Entity Scoping

A control objective has been associated with a risk statement, and both have been scoped to the same entity type. What can we expect to happen?

  • A Risks for this risk statement will be moved back into a Review state since there are new factors impacting risk likelihood.
  • B A control for this control objective, with a matching entity, will be related to the registered risk for this risk statement as a mitigating control.
  • C The control objective will be marked as compliant since it is mitigating the related risk statement.
  • D Risk scores will automatically decrease for the risk statement's risks since there are now mitigating controls.
Explanation

When a control objective and its related risk statement are scoped to the same entity type, ServiceNow generates the corresponding control and registered risk for each matching entity and relates that control to the risk as a mitigating control. Control compliance and risk scores are determined through their respective assessment processes, not merely by creating this relationship.
