Exciting news from fortControl to close out 2024

Enhanced control analyses – SoA feature

Control analyses (maturity assessments) have undergone a fundamental overhaul and are now more flexible and versatile. Target settings and assessment results can now be configured and used independently, allowing you to:

  • Use target settings as an SoA (Statement of Applicability).
  • Configure company-specific fields for control elements like evaluation comments, responsibilities, or required actions. This new capability significantly increases the efficiency of carrying out cybersecurity assessments based on StromVV compared to previously used Excel spreadsheets.
  • Conduct multiple assessments for a single target setting and compare them with each other.

These changes improve flexibility and precision in evaluations, enabling well-informed decision-making.

Improved navigation in control analyses

Navigation within the control analyses has been optimized. Thanks to the clearer structure and enhanced user interface, relevant information can found and processed more quickly. This intuitive operation helps users to concentrate on the essentials and work more efficiently.

Expansion of company-specific fields

The company-specific fields have been expanded. These fields can now also be applied in areas like “Security Incidents” and “Training.” This enhancement allows for even greater customization to meet specific requirements and improves the utilization of networking and analysis features.

Extended predefined control sets for cybersecurity, business continuity, AI, and operational resilience

Around 40 predefined control sets are currently available in the areas of cybersecurity, business continuity, AI, and operational resilience. Companies can still create their own control sets with just a few clicks using a user-friendly graphical interface or upload them via Excel.

Optimized visualizer display

The objects in the visualizer have been visually refined and now appear with a subtle, slightly transparent background. This adjustment ensures a harmonious display and improves clarity, allowing key information to stand out.

The latest version of fortControl delivers numerous enhancements designed to make your work not only more efficient but also more flexible. From optimized control analyses and visual comparison capabilities to company-specific customizations - these updates set new standards. Take advantage of these innovations to take your cybersecurity and control management to a new level!
