What happens when you assign an Entity Type to a Control Objective?

When an Entity Type is assigned to a Control Objective, it leads to the automatic generation of a control for every Entity listed within that Entity Type. This process helps in ensuring that each entity is managed according to specific compliance requirements and risk management protocols. By linking the control to the Entity Type, organizations can standardize their approach to assessing and managing risks associated with those entities, thus enhancing governance, risk management, and compliance efforts.

This functionality is critical as it enables organizations to streamline their compliance processes and ensure that all relevant entities are adequately addressed by the associated controls. Each control generated will have the necessary criteria and parameters linked to the respective Entity Type, thereby creating a cohesive framework for managing risks associated with those entities.
