Does the "Key Control" tickbox do anything?

[CI]

Hi

When creating/modifying a a control there is an option to tick a "key control" box indicating that the control is vitality important.

However, when this box is ticked there is no obvious effect on compliance, risk scores, or anything else. Can anyone confirm what knock on effects occur, if any, when a control is made a key control.  

Best Regards

I was interested in this too. The only information that I could find was within the SOX GRC Content pack documentation.

It appears that if you list the control as Key Control (i.e. a SOX control) it will be reportable on the SOX Compliance dashboard that is installed as part of the SOX Content pack.

We use it to identify SOX Controls at the Control level. We are also considering adding a SOX Control checkbox at the Control Objective level to quickly identify Control Objectives that are SOX related.

Below is the link to the SOX content pack documentation and a screenshot of the dashboard.
