1. SAQ Grading and Review
You can now assign specific weights - ranging from Informational to Critical - to individual questions, alongside assigning precise point values to specific answers within your Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs). By doing so, Zanshin takes over the heavy lifting to automatically calculate a final, mathematically sound Assessment Grade. To make this even more powerful, you can set smart approval criteria. This allows the system to instantly evaluate incoming questionnaires against your acceptable risk thresholds and automatically recommend whether to Accept, Reject, or Request Clarification.
We have also completely redesigned the reviewer experience. You will find a new, highly intuitive review interface featuring a quick-navigation side panel that keeps all necessary context in one view and auto-advances to the next item, significantly speeding up the evaluation process. Of course, the human element remains vital: reviewers always retain flexible evaluation power to overrule the system's automated recommendations or manually refresh grades on-demand as answers change. Finally, our new partial grading system clearly identifies which complex answers - such as free-text paragraphs or uploaded evidence files- cannot be auto-scored and strictly require human review before a final grade is issued.
Go to the “FOLLOWING” section and select “Questionnaires” on the left-hand menu. Edit a questionnaire you own or create a new one and try the new features.
Here are some screenshots from Zanshin highlighting the new capabilities.
