Managed control operations

Operate recurring controls without confusing implementation with independent validation.

In your situation

What the scoping will need to take into account.

Operated capacity

Keep controls alive according to a defined cadence and set responsibilities.

The mandate distinguishes between controls operated, coordinated or verified, and then retains, for each execution, the population, the result, the exception and the associated decision.

Subject of the work

Each control has a frequency, an owner and a trace.

How it actually unfolds

Set up a capability that remains operable over time.

Working format

Schedule for running controls, producing records, handling exceptions and periodically reviewing results.

Client-side mobilisation

The client provides the necessary authorities, populations and access, decides on exceptions and retains responsibilities that have not been delegated.

Starting elements

Inventories, procedures, expected frequencies, populations, tools, open exceptions and associated client commitments.

Building the schedule

Each control follows its own frequency; the mandate specifies which ones are operated, coordinated or verified separately.

Operating cadence

Assign frequency, execution, review and traceability to each control.

01Access and leaver reviewsAccess populations and departure events are reconciled according to an agreed frequency and approval authority.
02Restoration testsEach restoration verifies a defined objective and retains the result, the discrepancies encountered and the recovery decisions.
03Vulnerability and subcontractor reviewsVulnerabilities and subcontractors are reviewed according to their criticality, their changes and the engagements they affect.
04Incident exercises and evidence maintenanceThe exercises produce reusable records and feed into exceptions, corrections and the next run.

Status maintained

The traces produced by operational cadence.

AssetControl schedule

The schedule links each control to its population, frequency, operator and review authority.

PlannedExecution logs

Each execution retains the inputs used, the result obtained, the anomalies encountered and the decision taken.

To be reviewedAssigned exceptions

Exceptions state their basis, their duration, the commitments affected and the person authorised to accept them.

MaintainedUpdated evidence

Replaced evidence remains linked to its history so it stays clear what supported the position at each deadline.

Scoping the engagement

Choose the controls to operate, coordinate or review.

The inventory of controls, their populations and their frequencies makes it possible to separate what will be operated, coordinated or reviewed within the mandate.
