Excluding a Control, Test or Resource

The exclusion allows you to remove certain resource controls or tests from your program that may not apply to your business environment. Excluding a control, test or resource is made easy with TrustOps! To exclude a control or a resource, you need to provide a business justification at the time of exclusion. Additionally, exclusions are global; once you exclude a control resource or test, it will remain excluded until it is explicitly included.

Now that you have learned how to set up a program with controls and policies, dive into each TrustCloud Joyfully Crafted Control (TCCCF) and learn more about each control requirement.
