Attestations are surveys that gather evidence to prove that a control is implemented.
If the control attestation and respondents fields are selected, when the control moves from
the Draft state to the Attest state, a
notification is sent to the attestation respondents.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_grc.business_user, sn_grc.business_user_lite

Users can create multiple attestation types and set their control objectives to different attestations. A sample attestation called GRC Attestation is also provided as the default attestation.

## About this task

When controls are attested, a new questionnaire is created. As a result, attestations do not appear in the Self-ServiceMy assessments \& surveys module. Hundreds of GRC assessment records could be generated at once and should be separated from other assessments in a separate list view.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to Policy and ComplianceControlsMy Attestations.
2. Open the attestation and review the details.

   | Option | Description |
   | If you are unable to answer the questions | 1. Reassign the attestation to another user in the Assigned to field. 2. Click Update and close the record. {#attest-a-control__ol_twp_xqs_dw} Note: Only a user with the sn_grc.user role can be re-assigned the attestation. The list of attestations refreshes when you reassign an attestation to another user. |
   | If you are able to answer the questions | 1. Click Take attestation. 2. Answer the questions and attach information, as required. 3. Click Submit. {#attest-a-control__ol_lfm_1rs_dw} The list of attestations refreshes when you close the Take Assessment pop-up window. |
