Remediation Standards

The Remediation Standards set how findings are dealt with, for each severity. Open them from Findings → Remediation Standards.

The Remediation Standards: per severity, how fast it must be fixed, when it turns amber, whether it can be accepted instead, whether actions need verifying or proof, and the interim action deadline.
The Remediation Standards.

For each severity

Column

Sets

Fix within

How long from raising to the fix-by date.

Accept instead

The longest a finding can be accepted instead of fixed, or Not allowed.

Verify actions

Whether someone else must confirm an action was done. See Verify an action.

Proof to finish

Whether a photo or document is expected on an action before it's marked done.

Interim action within

How soon an interim action must be in place (blank: not needed). See Interim actions, overdue and escalation.

The Recommended standards ask for verification and proof on Critical and High findings, and an interim action within 1 day for Critical and 7 days for High.

Changing them

Just like the Testing Plan: prepare a draft, then someone who can approve it approves it. Self-approval is allowed but recorded, unless your tenancy settings require someone else. Review them yearly; the date is on the Calendar. Every approved version is kept; use Show history to see them.
