Introducing a Smarter Way to Manage Controls Across Entities
Managing controls across entities has always been one of the most complex and resource-intensive aspects of enterprise risk management. Our new Global Shared Controls capability introduces a smarter way to manage risk frameworks at scale.
With this update, organizations can propagate control sets across entities, define the degree of inheritance, and apply targeted modifications where needed. It’s one of the most impactful features we’ve released — designed to eliminate repetitive work while giving you flexibility to customize for each business unit.
How It Works
1. Define Origin and Destination Entities
Start by designating one entity as the Origin and one or more entities as Destinations. Both must be aligned to the same framework, ensuring consistency across your environment.
2. Select Inheritance Settings
Choose how much information to propagate:
- All: Copy all answers, comments, and artifacts from the Origin to Destinations.
- Suggested: Propagate only what’s recommended by Centraleyes analysts.
- None: Keep the connection in place but do not copy data until adjustments are made.
3. Create the Connection
Within the settings, a simple checkbox establishes the relationship. Connections are logged for full visibility, including who created or deleted them.
4. Automatic Synchronization
Once the connection is active, selected answers, comments, and artifacts are automatically mapped to the Destination entities. Any updates in the Origin flow through to the connected Destinations, saving time and reducing errors.
5. Granular Control
Global Shared Controls aren’t all-or-nothing. You can override settings at the level of individual questions or frameworks, ensuring each entity receives exactly the right level of inheritance.
6. Disconnect at Any Time
Connections can be edited or removed, either through the entity edit screen or the settings panel. Existing mappings remain intact, while new ones will follow the updated rules.
For global enterprises, investment groups, or any organization managing multiple entities, duplicating work across business units drains resources and increases compliance risk. Global Shared Controls eliminate the redundancy by:
- Ensuring consistency across frameworks and entities.
- Reducing manual work in control replication.
- Giving flexibility to customize inheritance at a granular level.
- Providing transparency with audit-ready logs of connections and changes.
With Global Shared Controls, your teams spend less time copying controls and more time acting on risk insights. Compliance becomes smoother, faster, and more resilient.
