## Issue Management Tasks

Issue Management connects each compliance gap to the source control, policy, regulation, audit, or risk that surfaced it, and tracks the issue through a consistent set of statuses.

- Log issues from control failures, unacknowledged policies, audit findings, processes, or incidents and link each issue to the source record.
- Apply service level agreements (SLAs) that escalate when remediation deadlines slip.
- Break complex fixes into action plans with assignable tasks using action plan templates.
- Move issues through a consistent resolution lifecycle, such as Draft, Open, Remediation in Progress, Review, and Closed.
