Control-Level Breakdown (1)
The control is partially implemented but operates inconsistently. Contractual obligations (milestones, SLAs, penalties) are tracked and reported to management. Gaps in execution or evidence retention reduce assurance over this area.
Redesign the control to address inconsistencies. Specifically: contractual obligations (milestones, slas, penalties) are tracked and reported to management. Assign a control owner and establish a testing cadence.
