Exemptions: waiting for my decision, active, expiring, expired and review overdue.

Purpose

Exemptions that live in a spreadsheet or a comment never expire, have no owner and cannot be shown to an auditor.

Design

Owners and approvers are named per security domain. Anyone with access requests an exemption for selected findings or everything matching a filter, with a reason and a period of 3, 6 or 12 months or a date. An approver approves or rejects with a comment; only approved exemptions apply. Owners get a monthly review mail and extend, keep or end each exemption; expiry warnings and overdue reviews are flagged. Every step is in the change history.

Business opportunities

Accepted risk with a name, a reason and an end date - exactly what auditors and regulators expect.
