Release Date: January 16, 2026
Version 3.7.0 introduces significant enhancements to security management, streamlines risk assessment workflows through centralized risk analysis template, and provides a more controlled data-linking strategy to improve system performance and clarity.
1. Security & API Management
This release focuses on tightening API security and providing better administrative oversight of integrations.
API Key Masking: All API keys are now masked within the UI, showing only the last four digits to prevent unauthorized exposure.
Secure Key Creation: To further protect credentials, full API keys are now displayed only once during the initial creation pop-up to allow users to copy them.
Enhanced Administrative Controls:
Creation Restrictions: System users can now only create their own API keys; Administrators are restricted from creating keys on behalf of others.
Deactivation Logic: The "Delete" function for API keys has been replaced with "Deactivate." Once created, a key can only be disabled, ensuring better audit trails.
Usage Reporting: Administrators can now export a comprehensive report of all API keys within the account, including key age, created date, last used date, status, and user ID who owns the API key.

2. Risk Analysis Templates
We have restructured how Risk Analysis Templates (RAT) are assigned to provide more automation and historical accuracy.
Centralized Template Assignment: Risk Analysis Templates are now assigned directly at the Risk Register level.
When adding a new Risk Analysis (RA) record, the system will automatically use the template defined in the parent Risk Register.
Templates can only be changed at the Risk Register level to ensure consistency across assessment periods.

Template Cloning Actions:
Clone RAT Template: Users can now clone an entire existing template to quickly create new versions.
Clone Questions: Within a template, specific questions can be replicated exactly, automatically placing the duplicate at the end of the list.
Lookup from Master: Customer accounts can now browse and import standard templates from the C1Risk Master account directly from the RAT List View.

3. Control Library & "See Suggestions"
To improve system performance and reduce data clutter, we have refined our entity-linking strategy.
Direct vs. Indirect Linking: The system now prioritizes Direct Links (explicit user-defined relationships) to ensure customers have full control over the data.
"See Suggestions" Feature: In lookup components for Policies, Internal Controls, and Findings, a new "See Suggestions" icon allows users to discover relevant indirect connections (e.g., CTL > Policy > IC) based on record relationships within the platform .
