Manage environments

Create an environment as the basis for Risk and Compliance workflows. An ARIS Risk and Compliance environment refers to a part of an organization that shares the same standards, processes and structures as the basis for Risk and Compliance workflows with the corresponding specific roles in an ARIS database. An organization can have various environments that comprise different GRC initiatives with different GRC objectives, for example, enterprise risk, business continuity, data protection, or different business units, such as different geographic regions. From a technical perspective, environments are separate data entities for which settings, databases, and active components are individually specified.
