What it does
Whether findings covered by an approved exemption are counted in the management numbers: Risk Analysis's workbook, JSON, summary and mail, and the web app's dashboards, KPIs, trends, closure and Services view and the wall board.
When enabled
they are counted everywhere by default.
When disabled
every management number leaves exempted findings out and says how many it left out; each dashboard has an 'Include exempted' tick that recomputes its figures with them (shown as simulated, never saved).
Risk and how to reverse it
Changes how long data is kept or how quickly assets are treated as gone. Shortening a retention DELETES older data at the next clean-up and that cannot be undone; shortening a grace period retires assets (and closes their findings) sooner. Lengthening is safe but uses more storage.
Requires
A SecurityInsight Pro licence.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: Turn on if management should see the risk including accepted exemptions.
