Regulatory change tasks

When a manager or user marks an unassigned regulatory alert as applicable, a regulatory change task is created to analyze the impact of the regulatory change and coordinate the required compliance activities.

A regulatory change task serves as the parent record for all action tasks created to address an applicable regulatory alert. Action tasks represent the specific activities required to implement regulatory changes, such as updating policies, controls, or risk statements in the regulatory library.

A manager with the sn_grc_reg_change.manager role assigns a regulatory change task to a user with the sn_grc_reg_change.user role. The task captures key information such as the assignment group, approver, assignee, and related regulatory alert to support visibility and accountability throughout the change process.

Starting with version 21.0.1, regulatory change tasks support earlier execution of compliance activities. Tasks can enter the Implementation state before approval is requested, allowing teams to begin work while approvals proceed based on workflow configuration.

A regulatory alert can be closed after all required regulatory change tasks and their associated action tasks are completed, and any required approvals are finalized, in accordance with the configured workflow.

• Users and associated actions for the regulatory change tasks
  Managers with the sn_grc_reg_change.manager role and the users with the sn_grc_reg_change.user role can view and perform certain tasks in the Regulatory Change Tasks module.
• Manage the regulatory change tasks
  Manage the regulatory action tasks in the Regulatory Change Tasks module so that you can use these tasks to identify and comply with the regulatory changes.
