About this task

Workflow versions and impacts work together to filter control objectives:

  • Version: Filters by workflow revision (for example, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-53 Revision 4, Revision 5).
  • Impact: Filters by risk level (for example, Low, Moderate, High).
  • Combined filter: Version and Impact conditions are applied together to generate baseline controls.
