    • The "Recommendation of similar control objectives" skill generates recommendations by identifying, deduplicating, and rationalizing similar control objectives within the compliance library. This enables identification of redundant control objectives, making it easier to maintain a clean and efficient compliance library.

    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_reco_template.rationalization_process_writer and sn_grc_shared_genai.compliance_gen_ai_user

    About this task

    Important:
    This Now Assist skill is turned on by default. The skill will be automatically available to appropriate role users for the application. For more information, see Now Assist skills, agents, and agentic workflows on by default.
    The "Recommendation of similar control objectives" skill generates recommendations based on the similarity parameters configured (names and description). The Gen AI searches for similar names and descriptions, which serve as inputs for providing recommendations.
    Important:
    Be sure to check AI-generated recommendations for accuracy.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > Privacy Workspace.
    2. Select the List icon.
    3. Navigate to Library > Control Objectives.
    4. Open the control objective which you want to rationalize.
    5. In the Overview tab of the control objective, select Rationalize.
      Note:
      If a rationalization process is already available for a control objective, the user is directed to the Rationalize tab for that specific control objective.
      • A new Rationalization process page is automatically created.
      • The Activity section shows the progress of the rationalization creation process:
        • The rationalization process first moves to Initiate state, with Generating Recommendations as the substate.
        • After the recommendations are ready, a new Rationalize tab appears.
        • The state next moves to Analyze, with Identify Duplicates as the substate.

    What to do next

    Accept or dismiss the generated recommendations. For more information, see Act on the Recommendations topic.
    Note:

    You can configure UI form actions in addition to "Accept as duplicate", "Dismiss" and "Retain as primary" as declarative actions for recommendations. For more information about creating declarative actions and how to use them, see Customizing Configurable Workspace with declarative actions.
