Changing the Status of Standards

In this article, you will find:

  • Navigation guidance for accessing the Compliance Standard status page.

  • Information about viewing and editing status tags.

Note: You must have successfully connected at least one integration to the OneClickComply platform before following this guide; otherwise, you will be unable to enable standards within your account.

Navigating to the Compliance Standards page

Once you have successfully integrated your chosen environment(s) to the OneClickComply platform, you will need to choose which compliance standards your organisation wishes to work towards and enable them. This process is completed within the Compliance Standards area.

To access this page, select Compliance > Control and Standards > Standards from the navigation bar, as shown below.

Navigation of Standards Option

Explaining status tags

When you are on the Compliance Standards page, you will see a list all of the compliance standards that are available to you, as determined by your subscription level with us. You will also see a percentage counter underneath each standard, indicating your current implementation progress. For example, if your organisation meets all of the controls associated with a standard, the percentage counter would show 100%.

Here is an example page:

Example Compliance Standards page

Each standard will display one of three status tags:

  • Active: The standard is enabled, and the organisation is currently working towards achieving compliance with this standard. Once a standard is set to Active, the controls and tasks associated with a control will also be visible.

  • Paused: The standard was set as Active at one point, but the organisation has decided to shelve progress for the moment. This option will save any work completed within the platform, but no further progress can be made on the standard unless it is returned to the Active state.

  • Opt-Out: This is the default state for all compliance standards on the OneClickComply platform. It means that the standard is not active, controls and tasks are hidden, and progress is not tracked.

Important: As all compliance standards are automatically set to Opt-Out, any standard your organisation wishes to work towards must be set to Active.

Editing status tags

To change the status of a compliance standard, select the Edit Status button within the standard's card. This will open a side-window, allowing you to choose the status of the standard, as shown below:

Simply select the desired status, then press Submit.

Setting a standard to Active

Once a standard is set to Active, a Controls button will appear alongside Edit Status button. This will allow you to view all of the controls of the standard, as well as the individual tasks associated with each control.

During the integration process, the OneClickComply platform conducts a scan of your connected environments, identifies what compliance requirements are currently in place and need to be implemented, and generates a list of tasks that you will need to complete in order to remedy any detected issues.

Setting a standard to Opt-Out

If a standard has been set to Active or Paused, and is then set to Opt-Out, it will remove all progress saved within your account.

A standard should only be set to Opt-Out status if you wish to take a clean approach to a standard, or you are certain your organisation no longer wishes to work towards the chosen standard.
