Overview of Perspectives in Risk Management

What is a Perspective?

A Perspective is a set of related, hierarchically organized values. You can

1. Create other perspective hierarchies
2. Assign perspective values to processes, risks, models, controls, and incidents
3. Assign perspective values to data security policies
4. Use perspectives as a filter for searching and reporting

Perspectives are used for filtering/security and control rights. These are hierarchy of values that can either be based on your Organizational structure , Regulatory compliance, Geographic Location or Processes.

Before a perspective hierarchy is available for use, you must associate it to Module Objects. These Modules are

• Financial Reporting Compliance - Perspectives are instrumental to Financial Reporting Compliance Security
• Advanced Controls

Below is a quick demonstration of Assigning perspectives to Module Objects:

You cannot add more modules, but you can modify them according to your business needs

After assigning a perspective to a module object, you would need to run a couple of jobs. Jobs are individual requests to synchronize data, evaluate models or advanced controls, export results, generate reports, or perform other background tasks. You run a job on the page to which the job applies, but you manage it in the Monitor Jobs page. You can:

• See the current status of the job
• Manage files created by the import or export jobs
• Cancel some jobs
• Purge the Job History

A perspective filter may use an "Includes Children" condition. If so, it grants access to objects tagged with a perspective value you select for the filter, or with any of its child values.

A single perspective filter  may select more than one perspective value. If so, those values have an OR relationship. The filter grants access to objects associated with any of the values.

A data security policy may include multiple perspective filters. If so, they have an AND relationship. The policy grants access only to objects associated with values selected by all the filters.
