Incident Management Extra:

  • Introduced a new feature that allows for the creation of dynamic incident reports.
  • Fixed a bug where an incident could be created without a summary field, ensuring data integrity.
  • Fixed an issue where values weren’t displaying dynamically from the database and were hardcoded instead in the Prioritization tab.

Risk Assessment Extra:

  • Added the ability to export questionnaire results directly to a spreadsheet.
  • Resolved an issue where users without permission to access the Assessments module were not visible as assessment contacts when sending questionnaires.
  • Fixed an issue where the Phone value was incorrectly required in the Assessment Contacts section.
  • Fixed an issue where ordering of columns in the Actions section caused errors when clicked on the Assessments → Assessment Contacts page.
  • Restored the display of Question # in questionnaire results, as it was unintentionally omitted in previous versions.

Secure Controls Framework Extra:

  • Fixed an issue where new frameworks would load initially when the SCF Extra was installed but would not load after the update.

 

Encryption Extra:

 

  • Fixed an issue where enabling the Encrypted Database would show encrypted asset names when selecting "Assets" from the Connectivity Visualizer Report.

 

Import/Export Extra:

 

  • Fixed an issue where importing controls with an undefined control class would not create the class as expected, and would only map if the class already existed.
  • Implemented a temporary fix for an issue where exporting large single-cell data exceeding Excel's 32,767 character limit would fail. Now, the data will be truncated to fit within the limit.

 

Incident Management Extra:

 

  • Added a Dynamic Incident Report feature.

 

Risk Assessment Extra:

 

  • Fixed an issue where users without permission to access the Assessments module were not visible as assessment contacts when sending questionnaires.

Other Notes:

 

  • A user reported difficulty logging in with the default username admin and password admin. Investigation revealed that PHP was enforcing secure cookies, but the application was not using SSL, preventing session values from being set. If you encounter this issue, try installing an SSL certificate and running SimpleRisk over HTTPS to resolve it.
