Task management

This article will assist you in managing your tasks in Scytale

Manage your tasks

The Task Management screen allows you to manage SOC 2 tasks much easier. Scytale creates the tasks automatically based on the systems that have integrated with the platform. Tasks are also created automatically via the frequency configuration in the Monitoring screen.

 

You can filter your task by the owner or by priority. In the top right corner, you will find the number of open tasks and the archive button. When clicking on the button you will see all the tasks that were marked as done. Click the button again, in order to return to the open tasks.

Set the timeline

The list of tasks is sorted by priority, so you can plan your work accordingly.

Add the deadline to the tasks to set the timeline to complete the tasks. Make sure all the tasks were assigned to the relevant stakeholder.

  • Status: Click the V button to complete the task.
