🌟 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.

🐛 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.
