Responsibility Matrix & My Work

Updated on November 24, 2023

The Responsibility Matrix and My Work are two deeply intertwined features of Conformio and provide an overview of tasks and what needs to be done to speed up your ISO 27001 implementation.

Responsibility Matrix

The Responsibility Matrix gives an overview of the tasks that have been done, need to be done, or need attention. Here, Conformio Users, Project Managers,  Admin, and Sponsors can check the following:

  • Responsibilities they have to complete;
  • Category of their task;
  • Due date to complete the task;
  • Overall status of their Responsibilities.

Tasks have the following different statuses directly linked to task completion, performance, or deadlines:

  • Late;
  • Due Date in the Future;
  • Completed;
  • Deleted;

The sorting option helps you find the tasks and responsibilities, sorting them by:

  • Created in (module, register, document);
  • Due date;
  • Category (of the task);
  • Responsible person.

The filtering option allows you to select only certain tasks to appear, filtering them by:

  • Category:
    • Continuous Responsibilities;
    • Tasks of Smaller Importance;
    • Comply Tasks.
  • Task status:
    • Late;
    • Due Date in the Future;
    • Completed;
    • Deleted”.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What happens if the task is “Late”?

Nothing specifically will happen for this task, but you are in danger of missing the desired deadline you set for implementing the project, as the task date (if it is created by the steps/registers/modules) is calculated based on the project duration you specified.

2. What will happen to outstanding tasks when the user is deactivated or changes roles?

If the user with outstanding tasks is deactivated, all their tasks will be transferred to the user you specify – most likely the user replacing the deactivated user. Since tasks are linked to the actual user, not the role or job title, the tasks will remain linked to the initial user if the job title is changed.
