Prechange Assessment Settings

Simulates the changes specified on the ticket and runs all relevant compliance analysis. Returns information to the user indicating what compliance failures would be found, and which are related to the proposed changes.

Use to override values provided by the workflow pack configuration. Changes apply only to this task configuration.

  1. Click Prechange Assessments.
  2. Select a Prechange Control Type from the list to include in the assessment. Multiple controls can be selected.
  3. Enable Process Prechange Risk Score Analysis to process the projected average Rule Risk Score change for all rules on a device after the change is made in Policy Planner. A Risk Analyzer license is required for this feature to be available to enable.
  4. For Auto Fail Settings:
    • Select one or more controls from the list to include
    • Filter to narrow the results, if needed
    • Click Add All or Add to move the selected controls from All Controls to Controls for Auto Fail
    • Enable the Minimum Control Severity field to select a value (0 - 10) that will be used to auto fail controls that are at or greater than the minimum set.
    • Enable the Minimum Vulnerability Effect field to select a value (0 - 10) that will be used to auto fail controls that are at or greater than the minimum set. Process Prechange Risk Score Analysis must be enabled for this feature to be available to enable.
  5. For Auto Pass Settings: 
    • Enable the Approve Requirements if No New Control Failures field to allow approval of requirements that have no new control failures.
    • Enable the Auto Approve if no New Vulnerabilities field to allow auto approval of requirements if no new vulnerabilities result from the proposed changes. Process Prechange Risk Score Analysis must be enabled for this feature to be available to enable.

      If there are existing control failures auto approval will still complete. These options only look for new failures, not existing. Also, if both options are enabled, both must be true in order for auto approval to run successfully.

    • Set the Cumulative Severity Threshold for Access Request tickets to skip the Review stage if it falls below the threshold. If a ticket's cumulative severity equals the threshold value, it will be routed for review.
