The **Control Assessment** tab of the **Risk Management** page brings together the status of the regular controls in the Process Space: the **Overall Assessment**, the controls without assessment and the four assessment criteria **Execution**, **Control Design**, **Effectiveness** and **Appropriateness**.

## Prerequisites [#prerequisites]

You are a **Risk Manager** or **BPM Manager**.

## What is the Control Assessment tab for? [#what-is-the-control-assessment-tab-for]

Control assessments show whether the controls work, and thus whether you can rely on the risk analyses.

## Structure of the Control Assessment tab [#structure-of-the-control-assessment-tab]

The tab displays cards for the **Overall Assessment**, for **Controls Without Assessment** as well as for the assessment criteria **Execution**, **Control Design**, **Effectiveness** and **Appropriateness** of the controls.

You can click cards whose icon is highlighted or that carry a link. They then display the details with the respective processes.

The **Back** button takes you back to the tab.

- **Overall Assessment**

  Uses a pie chart to show which control assessments have been classified as **open**, **good**, **acceptable** or **weak**.

  Clicking the detail icon opens an overview of all assessed controls.

  Clicking the respective slice in the pie chart opens only those control assessments that correspond to the respective status.
- **Controls Without Assessment**

  Displays all published controls for which no assessment has been recorded yet.

  Click one of the controls to add a control assessment.
- **Execution**, **Control Design**, **Effectiveness**, **Appropriateness**

  Display the overview of the respective assessment criteria of all control assessments.

  This allows you to see at a glance, for example, how often controls have been carried out.
