Action on Compensating Controls

A compensating control contains the information that supports the existence of a rule violation. After creating a compensating control, you can take various actions on it such as enabling a compensating control or disabling a compensating control, associating the compensating control to a rule, review a compensating control, or delete a compensating control. Use this page to perform the actions listed below.

This page enables you to perform these actions:
