Alerts and the review queue.

Coming with the company portal.

What Carmen flagged, who owns it, and what happened next.

01

Where alerts come from

An alert is created for any High or Medium result on any person's browser, mailbox or phone. The person is told on their own device at the same time.

Working an alert

Open the alert and read what Carmen saw. Mark as safe if you know it is fine. Mark for review if someone should look. Every action is recorded with your name and the time.
