Link and Unlink Controls to a Framework Requirement

Requirements of standard frameworks like ISO, SOC2, GDPR, and others are already linked to controls. These mappings are pre-established by Scrut. However, if you have created a custom framework requirement, Scrut provides you with the flexibility to link and unlink controls, as needed.

Linking Controls to a Requirement

To link one or more controls to a requirement, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Sign in to Scrut, and go to Compliance → Frameworks using the left navigation panel.

2. Click on the framework to which you want to link a control.

   

3. Locate the specific requirement to which you want to link a control.

4. To narrow down your options, use the search bar at the top. You can search by Requirement Name, Code, or Category.

5. If needed, apply the Scope filter at the top to view requirements categorized as In Scope or Out of Scope.

   

6. Expand the requirement to view its details in a side drawer.

7. Click the Link / Unlink Controls button.

   

8. In the Link / Unlink Controls window, select the checkboxes for the control(s) you want to link.

9. Optionally, use the search bar to find specific controls by name or code.

10. If needed, use the Domain, Frameworks, and Entities filters at the top to filter specific controls.

    

11. Once you've selected the desired controls, enable the Show Linked Controls toggle to review and verify your selection.

    

12. Click Save to complete the process.
