K2 GRC v13.0.0 Release

We are thrilled to launch K2 GRC 13.0.0! This release introduces foundational changes to our data model, a new authorization system, and significant performance enhancements to make the platform faster and more intuitive.

✨ Major New Features

This release is headlined by a foundational terminology change, as "Requirements" are now "Controls" to better align with industry standards. We have also significantly upgraded the eLearning module, introducing powerful automation rules for training and a suite of new reports to track progress, answers, and workforce status.

Governance and Compliance Services

• A Foundational Change: "Requirements" are now "Controls" The most significant change in this version is a platform-wide update to our terminology. To better align with industry-standard language (like NIST, ISO, etc.), what were previously called "Requirements" are now "Controls." This is a change in name only—all your data, relationships, and functionality remain the same. You will see this "Control" language reflected in all menus, reports, and pages.

eLearning Service

• Smarter eLearning & Task Integration We've created a new, deeper connection between the eLearning module and the core platform. Completing a training module can now automatically update the status of related tasks and evidence, saving you manual steps and improving data accuracy.
• eLearning Automation Rules: We’ve created a way for users to create automation rules for Tasks within eLearning, enabling users to have two options of sending out training for the workforce members due date, or based on the month of the users choice!

• ‍New eLearning Reports: "Organizational Unit" A new report has been added to the eLearning module, giving you the ability to see training progress and status broken down by your organization's business units. “Training Answers Report” This new report allows you to see what users responded with for custom training modules enabling admins to review free text and multiple choice responses. “Workforce Report” A new report enabling admins to see overall status of an individual workforce member, or all members, for a specific module or all modules.

🛠️ Enhancements & User Experience

• Significant Performance & Speed Improvements We have implemented a new, organization-wide caching layer for user data and queries. You'll notice faster load times on pages, reports, and dashboards as the system can now retrieve common information much more quickly.
• Quick Navigation Dialog Get where you need to go, faster. You can now press Ctrl + P (or Cmd + P on Mac) anywhere in the application to open a quick-navigation dialog. Just type the name of the page you want, and jump there instantly.
