Configuring the Compliance Workspace requires setting up certain
pre-requisite steps.

The following configurations are required to set up the compliance workspace for different

  workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ny~fXmIKWwMoI7mXucy67Q "There are three distinct steps that must be followed to segregate, associate, and display the IT-related data for the IT compliance manager to view in the IT Compliance Home page.").
* For different components installed with GRC: Policy and Compliance Management, see [Components
