Registers
A register is the running log of a compliance activity: risks identified, incidents handled, training delivered. Populated registers are proof to the auditor that the work is actually happening. Rows you add count toward Audit.
Why registers exist
CAB auditors don't want to read your policy. They want to see evidence you are doing what the policy says. A written incident-response policy on its own fails the audit; a populated incident register alongside it passes. Registers close that gap.
The thirteen registers
Open them from the Records menu. The same registers sit in the Documents tree under Registers. The risk register is separate: it lives under Risks → Register (see Risks).
| Register | What it tracks |
|---|---|
| Training & Awareness | Awareness sessions and completion |
| Phishing Test | Simulated phishing campaigns with click rate and report rate |
| Employee Onboarding | One row per new hire |
| Employee Offboarding | One row per leaver |
| Access review | Periodic reviews of who has access to what |
| Backup & Restore Test | Restore drills, proving backups actually work |
| Change Management | Significant system changes with risk review |
| Incident | Security incidents with NIS2 24h / 72h / 1-month reporting dates |
| Management Review | Reviews of the security posture by management |
| Policy Review | Review cadence per policy, with approver and outcome |
| Supplier | Third parties with access to systems or data, review cadence |
| Tabletop & Recovery Exercise | IR drills, recovery rehearsals, lessons learned |
| Vulnerability | Vulnerabilities found in scans, patched status |
How a populated register becomes evidence
You don't have to separately attach a file to prove the work happened. The moment a register has one or more rows, the platform treats it as virtual evidence for every control it is mapped to:
- Add a row to the register (e.g. log one incident in Incident register).
- The register is linked to the controls it supports.
- The Audit recalculates: the matching controls move toward Audit-ready.
- Your readiness percentage goes up. No file upload needed.
Quality over quantity
Registers count because they show real activity. A one-row register may count, but an auditor will still ask "is that really all of them?" Fill them honestly.
MSP-facing reports
Two extra pages live alongside the registers but aren't registers themselves. They are management declarations the MSP delivers to the client:
- Statement of Applicability (
reports/statement-of-applicability): declares which controls apply, with justifications for any exclusions. Auditors read this first. - Quarterly Business Review (
reports/quarterly-business-review), the quarterly readout: posture evolution, highlights, open risks, next-quarter commitments. Copy the page into a PDF each quarter.
