Workflow Types

The Workflow Type property is used to identify whether a workflow is applicable for particular features in Risk Cloud. Currently, there are two Workflow Types:

• Standard: A regular Risk Cloud workflow. Most workflows are Standard workflows.
• Control Framework: A repository workflow which stores Control records: records outlining processes, policies, or practices to mitigate risk. This includes custom Internal Control sets. This does NOT include workflows used for related activities including Control Evaluations, Evidence Requests, or Audits.

View and Update Workflow Types

The Workflow Type can be viewed and updated by users with Build entitlement. On the Application Build canvas, click the gear icon for a workflow and select the Advanced tab. The Workflow Type can be toggled between Standard workflow and Control Framework.

Workflow Type Use Cases

The Workflow Type determines which workflows appear on the Controls page. Read more about Control Frameworks.

Other upcoming Controls Compliance features will use Control Framework workflows, including the Control Gap Analysis tool.
