Over the last quarter, we have expanded the validator with additional checks, new severity levels, and broader cross-table validation based on ESA feedback and our own production observations. These improvements aim to further align with supervisory expectations and reduce noise from low-impact findings.

The following enhancements have been introduced:

Make changes to your data more easily as your needs evolve. You can now adjust certain field types without starting over and update multiple assets in one go, saving time and reducing manual work.

:

→ Change field types without recreating them, supported for both entities and questionnaires: (not reversible), (not reversible)

→ Apply edits to multiple at once, following the same bulk edit functionality available for .

You can now add custom fields directly to evidence, giving you more flexibility to capture and structure the information that matters to your organization. This helps ensure your evidence is more complete, consistent, and tailored to your needs.

:

→ Configure custom fields directly on evidence.

→ Capture and update responses for those fields.

More ways to use and expose these fields across the platform are planned and will be introduced in future updates.

Build cleaner and more efficient workflows by linking nodes instead of repeating the same steps across different branches. This helps you reduce duplication, simplify complex flows, and keep your workflows easier to maintain.

:

→ Create links from Action and Loop nodes, including within groups

→ Linking also supports deleting connections directly in the workflow editor

You can now leave applicability and control status unset when you add a new Control. This will make it easier to see which controls have actually been assessed, and you will be able to identify gaps more accurately.

Design, adjust, and optimize your workflows more intuitively than ever. The full-screen editor gives you a clear view of your processes, so you can streamline workflow management and reduce errors.

→ Full-screen workflow editor, with pan and zoom functionality, accessible via the “” button. This applies to both existing and new workflows.

→ Delete empty stages directly within the editor

→ Flexible node placement, allowing you to choose whether a new action is added to the current or next stage

We’ve improved the Framework Settings page to make it easier to find and manage what you need. This brings better visibility and separation of concerns, so you can manage frameworks more efficiently.

:

→ Two clear tabs for better organization: for framework structure (reordering, creation, deletion, and managing controls) and for control-specific settings, custom fields, connections and data retention.

You can now define custom formulas for risk scores, giving you more control over how probability and consequence combine. This ensures your risk assessments better reflect your organization’s methodology and provide more meaningful insights.

:

→ Apply a custom calculation formula using probability and consequence.

→ Use standard functions like min, max, avg, and sum, along with normal math operations.

→ Custom formulas currently display only on the gauge.

Configure this directly in by selecting a and enabling the custom formula under .

Managing regulatory and time-bound obligations requires clarity, structure, and accountability. To support this, we have introduced a new "" action giving you a more powerful and structured way to manage time-sensitive processes.

This update helps you enforce internal and external deadlines, track whether critical actions or NIS2 reporting tasks are completed on time, and maintain visibility across complex, compliance-driven workflows.

→ : “”, decide which conditions must be met before time runs out

→ Deadline visibility on entities/resources, showing clear “” or “” status
