Hi @Chaz_,

 

Have you checked the below post, there's some useful and relevant points and links to video's to help answer the question for you.

 

Here's a good summary however:

To summarize,

  • Attestation verifies a CI record represents something that's still being managed, if not then the CI record should be retired/removed from the CMDB.
  • Certification verifies the data in a record is accurate, if not then the data needs to be updated.
