Systems

The Systems page allows you to manage all the systems in your tenant. A system represents an environment, application, or infrastructure component that is subject to compliance requirements.

This page is primarily designed for administrators, who can create, edit, and delete systems as needed. Users with other roles can view existing systems but do not have permissions to modify them.

Key Features​

System Management (Admins only)​

  • Create Systems – Add new systems by specifying their name, description, and applicable frameworks.
  • Edit Systems – Update details such as the system’s description or associated frameworks.
  • Delete Systems – Remove systems that are no longer needed.

Creating a New System​

Creating a system is a three-step wizard: System, Framework Inheritance, and Confirmation.

  1. Navigate to the Systems page.

  2. Click the Create System button.

  3. On the System step, enter:

    • System Name – A unique name for the system. This field is required.
    • Description – A short summary of the system.

    Additional fields such as the identifier, categorization, and CAGE code are available under Show Optional Fields.

  4. Click Next to move to Framework Inheritance, where you choose the frameworks that apply and how the system inherits from a parent.

  5. Review the Confirmation step, then finish creating the system.

Your new system will appear in the system list with an Active status by default.

The system list shows the Name, Description, Identifier, Categorization, CAGE Code, Frameworks, and Status for each system.

Editing or Deleting a System​

  • To edit, select a system from the list, update its details, and save your changes.
  • To delete, select the system and confirm the deletion. Deleted systems are removed permanently.

System Inheritance​

Systems can be linked together through inheritance. Inheritance allows a child system to adopt statuses and implementation statements from its parent. For more details on how inheritance works and how to configure it, see System Inheritance.
