   • Messages to phone numbers fixed

Enhancements

1.  New Risk Exceptions Tab in the Risk Register

We have introduced and enhanced the Risk Exceptions tab in the Risk Register to improve workflow efficiency when handling accepted risks. 

When a user sets a Risk Treatment to Accept Risk, the system now automatically:

• Moves the record from the Vulnerability-Based Risk or Compliance-Based Risk tab into the new Risk Exceptions
• Creates a Risk Review Task in the Task page, including the assigned reviewer and the designated review date.
• Sends an automated email notification to the reviewer informing them that the risk has been accepted and a review task has been generated.

If the Risk Treatment is later changed to any status other than Accept Risk, the system will:

• Move the record back to its original category (Vulnerability-Based Risk or Compliance-Based Risk).
• Send an updated email notification if the reviewer is modified.

These improvements provide clearer traceability, streamlined workflow transitions, and enhanced communication for all accepted risks across the platform.

2. Incident Management Module

A. Conference Bridge Creation Enhancement

Admins can now create bridges independently of incidents, similar to meeting creation. If needed, admins may still choose to associate a bridge with an incident.

B. Phone Number Message Issue Resolved

Fixed an issue where valid phone numbers were entered, but messages were not being sent to users.

Should you have any questions regarding these updates, please reach out to FortifyData or simply reply to this email.
