🌟 Highlights & Key Features

  • Risk Scenario Simulations: You can now run detailed simulations against your Risk Scenarios to better understand and prepare for potential threats.

🛠️ Service Updates

Risk & Compliance

  • SSP Reports: Cleaned up the System Security Plan (SSP) Report display so it now shows a single Control Origination.
  • Control Categories: Updated the Control Category classifications to align with industry standards (Govern, Detect, Respond, Recover, Protect, Identify).

🐛 Bug Fixes & Stability

  • Performance: Significantly shortened the load times for Tasks!
  • Session Timeouts: Fixed a highly requested bug where the automatic timeout would incorrectly kick users out after exactly one hour, regardless of whether they were actively using the platform.
  • Plan of Actions (POAs): Resolved an issue that was preventing POAs from being created.
  • UI Inconsistencies: Fixed bugs related to inconsistent PDF uploads and corrected the display columns (Responsible Party and Framework) on the Requirement Page.
