Reviewing a control confirms that your compliance procedure is still accurate and that the checks linked to it remain relevant. Adoptech tracks when each control was last reviewed and flags any that are overdue. --- #### **Finding a control** 1. In the left-hand navigation, go to **Compliance → Frameworks** 2. Select the **Controls** tab at the top of the page 3. Find the control you want to review and click on it **![](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-03-2026-08-19-49-8719-AM.png?width=2896&height=1698&name=image-png-Jun-03-2026-08-19-49-8719-AM.png)** #### **Reviewing the control** 1\.

Review Linked Checks. A table lists all checks linked to this control, showing each check name and its compliance status.
