In 2021 Q1 the Program Scoping wizard was replaced by the new Program Scoping Dashboard dashboard. Please refer to that article for current instructions on how to scope program content in ZenGRC. 

Overview


In this step, you review objectives uploaded with the seed content and decide which section to scope them so that the section's compliance requirement is upheld. Since the interpretation of objectives vary, this step allows you to match the objectives with sections in a manner that makes the most sense for your organization.

The Scope Objectives page is comprised of three columns as follows:

  • Objectives – These objectives can be added to a section.
  • In-Scope Objectives – These objectives are scoped to the program.

    If you add all objectives, you will need to map control(s) to each of them. Even though a control may be used with multiple objectives, simply adding all objectives to each section may result in an excess number of controls for your organization.


  6. Select the next section in the Sections column.
