Grant Exceptions Without Losing Control

Sometimes the business needs an exception — but an exception with no expiry is a permanent hole. Melcore’s Exception Management handles security exceptions and risk acceptances with compensating controls, expiry dates, and review workflows, so every exception is deliberate, documented, and time-bound.

What's inside

Every Risk in One Place — Owned, Scored, and Tracked

Built around the fields your risk team actually works with — drawn directly from the client’s design note for this page.

Exception Requests

Capture exception requests with justification and scope.

Risk Acceptance

Formally record who accepted the risk and why.

Compensating Controls

Document the controls that offset the exception.

Expiry Dates

Every exception has an end date — no permanent exceptions by default.

Review Workflows

Route exceptions for approval and periodic re-review.

Exception Register

See all active exceptions and their status in one place.
