What are Reviews?

Reviews in Tenacy are validations or pending actions that require your attention.
You can find them by clicking on the bell icon in the top menu.

  • 🟡 Yellow bell → You have pending reviews.

  • Grey bell → No reviews pending.

💡 It’s important to check whenever the bell turns yellow, as some scores depend on the validation of certain reviews.

How to Manage Reviews

  • Validate a review: Click anywhere on the concerned row, or hover and click the icon on the left.

  • Close a review (without validating): Hover and click the icon on the far right.

  • 🔄 Reopen closed reviews: Activate the toggle “See closed” at the top of the window.

  • Once validated, the review disappears from the list.


Types of Reviews

There are 7 types of reviews in Tenacy:

1. Measure Reviews

There are two types of measure reviews:

  • Implement a measure
    Triggered when you finish an implementation action. Tenacy asks you to confirm that the security measure is now implemented.

⚠️ Impact if not ignored:

The measure will stay as non-implemented, giving 0 points on your linked policies or risks.

  • Improve a measure
    Triggered when you finish an improvement action. Tenacy asks you to confirm it’s completed.

⚠️ Impact if ignored:

The measure’s efficiency will remain penalized until you validate the review.



2. Incident Reviews

Triggered when all actions linked to an incident are completed.

⚠️ Impact if ignored:

The incident remains open until you validate or close it manually.



3. Gap Reviews

Triggered when all actions linked to a gap are completed.

⚠️ Impact if ignored:

The gap remains open until you validate or close it manually.



4. Exemption Reviews

Triggered when all actions linked to an exemption are completed.

⚠️ Impact if ignored:

The exemption stays active until you validate it, its end date is reached, or you close it manually.



5. Project Reviews

Triggered when all actions in a project (ISP module) are completed.

⚠️ Impact if ignored:

The project stays open until you validate it, its end date is reached, or you close it manually.



6. Policy Reviews

Triggered when a policy has requirements without linked security measures.

⚠️ Impact if ignored:

None. It’s only a reminder to complete your policy mapping. You can ignore or close it.



7. Action Mapping Reviews

Triggered when imported actions could be implementation or improvement actions.

⚠️ Impact if ignored:

None. It’s just a reminder to check and confirm the action type.
