Test Control Operating Effectiveness (Operating Effectiveness Stage)

Once policies are aligned, test whether controls are operating as expected.

Pre-Requisites:

• Control owners must attach supporting evidence.
• Receptors must be connected and configured properly.
• Controls must be marked as Ready to be included in the test.

How to Run Operating Effectiveness Tests

• Navigate to Compliance > Roadmap.
• Select the Operating Effectiveness stage.
• Choose from the following based on the control status:
  • Examine and Test Again – For controls that previously failed.
  • Scan These Controls – For controls not yet tested.
  • Scan These Controls Again – For controls with outdated results.
• Run the AI-powered scan. You may choose to test specific controls.

Tip: Use the Control Status Summary at the top of this stage to view control readiness at a glance.

Running AI-powered tests regularly helps surface issues early and verify your environment is truly audit-ready.
