In which state can control indicators be triggered or scheduled?

Control indicators can be triggered or scheduled in the "Monitor" state. This state is essential for active assessment of controls, where organizations continuously observe control performance and effectiveness. The monitoring process typically involves real-time data collection and analysis to ensure that controls are functioning as intended and to identify any potential issues that may require attention.

In this context, controls must be actively managed, and by triggering or scheduling control indicators during the monitoring phase, organizations can respond appropriately to any deviations. The ability to establish thresholds for performance and implement corrective actions quickly contributes to the overall effectiveness of the risk management framework.

Other states like "Retired," "Review," and "Attest" are not actively involved in the ongoing management of controls. "Retired" indicates that the control is no longer in use, and therefore, no indicators would be necessary. "Review" typically involves examining controls for effectiveness at a certain point but does not imply active scheduling or triggering of indicators. "Attest" refers to the process of validating and affirming that controls are operating effectively, which may occur after monitoring but is not part of the active triggering or scheduling of control indicators. Thus, the "Monitor" state is specifically designed to facilitate continuous oversight of control performance.
