Interpret results

Understand the progress and maturity displayed in the GRC evaluations.

The GRC results show the progress of the responses and the maturity calculated from the framework and the method used in the assessment. "Assessment" is the name used in the interface for an evaluation.

What you will do

You will consult the evaluation indicators and the overview to identify pending controls, compare groupings and recognize the already calculated results.

Who can do this

Users with access to the GRC module and evaluation in the active organization.

Before you start

  • Confirm that the correct organization is active.
  • Open the evaluation you want to analyze.
  • To consult calculated maturity and comparison by grouping, use an assessment with status Completed.

Menu path

To analyze an assessment, select GRC → Assessments → My assessments → choose the assessment → Open. To compare results, select GRC → Overview.

Steps

  1. In the evaluation, consult Progress. The percentage and amount of controls answered show how much of the work has been completed; they do not represent approval.
  2. Consult Status to distinguish Draft, In progress, Waiting for approval, Pending adjustments, Completed and Archived.
  3. Consult Maturity. Before completion, the indicator may appear as Pending. After approval, the screen displays the calculated score and, when available, the corresponding level.
  4. Consult Versions to find out if the result belongs to the initial version or if there are available checkups.
  5. In Overview, look at Active Assessments, Maturity and Active Plans for a summarized reading of the organization.
  6. In Maturity by grouping, select a completed assessment. Compare the score of each grouping with the maximum score of the method displayed in Assessment level.
  7. Use the groupings with the lowest score as a reference to review the corresponding controls. The screen shows maturity difference; it does not classify this result as a risk.
  8. If the Maturity projection section is available, consult the evolution foreseen by the waves of the linked action plan.

Expected result

You can separate progress from result: Progress shows the completion, Status shows the evaluation stage and Maturity shows the calculated result. The grouping comparison helps locate where the score is furthest from the maximum displayed by the method.

The indicator Open risks appears as Soon. The current version does not offer on this screen a procedure available to register, classify or track risks.
