Policies allow you to “tag” questions based on framework and section. These can be used to generate reports that are specific to the framework you are evaluating based on.
Some advanced users utilize PowerBI to generate very customized reports based on assessment results from Isora GRC. Question tagging allows the data to be sliced in different ways using PowerBI. For example, all questions with a given tag might be weighted a certain way, or have their scores totaled to be displayed in a particular graph.
In the future, Isora GRC will support a variety of pre-built dashboards that are taylored to existing frameworks. Currently there is a specialized dashboard for CMMC/DFARs. Question tagging enables those dashboards to determine which questions are relevant.
Additional future features are also expected to make use of Policy tagging.
Policies are found on the Question Configuration area of the Settings page. This is currently only found in the old UI.
