Reusing Regulation Data

Converting Regulation Data

If your repository contains regulation frameworks or requirements, you need to convert them to be able to reuse them in HOPEX GRC.

A regulation framework is a set of directives, compulsory or not, defined by a government in a law, by standard bodies as "best practices" or as an internal policy in an organization.

A requirement is a need or expectation explicitly expressed, imposed as a constraint to be met within the context of a project. This project can be a certification project or an organizational project or an information system project.

Source object type	Object type obtained after conversion

Requirement	Article + Control directive

For more details on regulatory frameworks, see Managing the Compliance Register.

Converting Regulation Data

To convert regulation frameworks and requirements:

1. From the navigation bar, select Administration > Tools > Regulation Data Conversion.

Gauges indicate the percentage of regulation frameworks and requirements which have been converted so far.

2. Click Launch Data Conversion.

3. In the Convert into column, indicate for each regulation framework if you want to:

• convert it into a regulatory framework

A regulatory framework is an authority document falling under any of following categories: regulations (rules of law that, if not followed, can result in penalties), or standards.

• convert it into a business policy framework

A policy framework consists of a set of business policies. Policy frameworks may contain sections.

• do not want to convert it

Regulation Frameworks are by default converted into Regulatory Frameworks. The Apply Default Conversion Settings button enables to revert to the initial settings in case you made changes.

At the end of the conversion, the gauges display an updated percentage.

Converted data can be viewed in the compliance register (Compliance menu). For more details, see Managing the Compliance Register.

The regulation framework date is not converted. Moreover, customized characteristics are not converted either.
