Use Attestations to ensure Control records are compliant and demonstrate/ensure they are reviewed on a regular basis. By applying an Attestation, you are documenting that a Control has been implemented, how it has been implemented, and why.

:::hint{type="info"}
To create or edit an Attestation, you must log in to Neurons for ITSM as a **GRC Manager**.
:::

You can create or edit an Attestation for a Control only when the Control record's **Status** is **Draft** or **In Review**, you cannot add an Attestation when the Control record's status is **Active**, **Retired** or **Cancelled**. An Attestation record is closed and cannot be edited when the associated Control record's **Status** is set to **Retired**.

**To create an Attestation:**

1. Open the **Controls** workspace.
2. Open the Control record you want to attest.
3. Click **Attest** on the top row of the Control record.
   A blank **GRC Attestation** record form opens.
4. Enter the attestation data in the form fields:
   - **Is the Control implemented**: Select **Yes** if the Contol is implemented, or select **No** if it has not been implemented.
   - **Details**: Enter details to confirm the Control is still valid, is used/not used, and is or is not compliant. You can also enter any supporting evidence.
   - **Date**: Add a date for completion of the Attestation.
5. Click **Save**.
