Actions and Controls
Add an action or control measure
For each question there are positive and negative answers. A positive answer says current measures are adequate and a control measure might be used to describe them.
A negative answer suggests there is an intolerable risk and measures are required to mitigate them; an action will need to be assigned to describe the risks and suggest measures. Negative answers are identified by a red flag, see screenshot below.
More than one or both an action and control measure might need to be assigned to a single question.
