What indicates a successful creation of controls after a control objective and configuration test have been associated?

The successful creation of controls in ServiceNow, after associating a control objective and a configuration test, hinges on the configuration of specific properties within the platform. Setting the 'sn_compliance.auto_create_profile_and_Control' property to true is essential because this property enables the automatic creation of controls when the requisite conditions (like an associated control objective and configuration test) are met. When this property is enabled, it streamlines the process of establishing necessary controls without manual intervention, ensuring that controls are generated seamlessly based on predefined parameters.

The other options, while relevant to the overall control management process, do not directly indicate the successful creation of controls. For instance, simply checking a checkbox or having all entities marked as active may not guarantee that controls will be created without the requisite system properties being configured correctly. Furthermore, while publishing a control objective is essential for it to be functional, it does not directly relate to the automatic creation of controls unless the specific property is in place.
