Approving Compliance Finding Suppression

Last updated: October 22, 2026

If someone requests that a compliance finding be suppressed, the request appears under Requests > My Request Actions for users who have the global Review Compliance Finding Suppression Request permission and own the compliance check that produced the finding. Requests for compliance checks that have no owners go to all users with that permission.

To approve or deny a compliance finding suppression reqest:

  1. Navigate to Requests > My Request Actions.

  2. In the Request Type dropdown, select Compliance Finding Suppression.

  3. Click Approve or Deny on the pending request.

  4. Enter a reason in the Suppression Reason field if you are approving the request, or in the Comments field if you are denying it. When you approve, the field is filled in with the requester's reason.

  5. (Optional) If you are approving the request, you can use the Suppression Timeout toggle to set or adjust the time frame. Once the time frame elapses, the finding will start showing in compliance scan results again if it has not been addressed.

  6. Click Suppress to approve the request or Deny to deny it.

The user who requested the suppression receives a notification stating whether the request was approved or denied, along with any comments you enter.
