Control Overview
Clicking on each control opens up more information and actions customers can take.

- Manage & Share - Ability to change status or share control to an integration (explanation below)
Manage & Share
Manage allows customers to change the status of the control. Depending on whether the control is automatically or manually monitored, the following control statuses are available:
- Automated Monitoring - Control is automatically monitored by the SpinOne platform
- Pass - Control is addressed and fully implemented
- Alternative Resolution - Control is addressed and fully implemented through alternative methods
- Risk Accepted - Control is not addressed or implemented but the imposed risk has been accepted
- To Address - Control is not addressed or implemented at all
- Suppressed - Control is not relevant
To change the control status, customers must include their reasoning by adding a note.
Share allows customers to share the control to Email, Jira, & ServiceNow integrations. This allows the user to assign the control to different departments within the organization by creating a ticket for them, or acts as a way to notify End Users of changes they need to make from their end.
