# Risk & Compliance

## What is Risk & Compliance?

* **Risk & Compliance** refers to the **assessment and control** of digital assets based on risks and compliance levels with regulations (legal, brand, organizational policies, and spelling) **to detect violations.**
* This ensures that assets are used in accordance with the law, organizational policies, and brand standards, while helping businesses avoid risks related to legal issues, reputation, and finances.

👉 Admin can set flags in [**Risk & Compliance Settings**](/client-profile/client-profile-settings/access-rights-and-security/risk-and-compliance-settings.md)**.**

* The rules are created **in the form of flags**. When a violation is detected, the system generates a **callout** in the asset’s **Comments** section. This callout can be **replied to, requested for changes, removed, or marked as resolved**.

## How to check Risk & Compliance

HIVO provides you to run Asset Risk & Compliance in **two ways:**

* **For assets already stored in the library:** You can also run checks on assets that have already been successfully uploaded to the library.
* **When uploading new assets:** You can configure the system to run the check as soon as you upload an asset.

👉 The feature can checks on **PDF and Image** content.

👉 **Note before running:** You need to run **“Scan PDF content/ Scan Image content”** (extract the entire file content) together with the **Risk & Compliance** command. If the file has not been OCR-scanned, the system will not be able to detect any violations.

### **1. Check for assets successfully uploaded to Library**

#### **🔹 Step 1:** Open Asset **Risk & Compliance** feature

* Go to the Asset Detail Page.
* On the Asset Action Toolbar, select **"Customization".**
* In the dropdown menu, select the action **"Automations for original/web/thumbnail"** (Note: choose the correct version to check).

#### **🔹 Step 2: Run the Risk & Compliance check**

* A new window will appeaappear, Select **“Run Governance Risk & Compliance Checks”** and then choose the appropriate **Scan option** based on your asset type:
  * **Scan PDF contents** – if your asset is a PDF file
  * **Scan Image contents** – if your asset is an image
* Click **“Submit”** to start the process. After running, the system will display a message confirming successful completion.

#### **🔹 Step 3:** View Results on the Asset Detail page

* After receiving a successful completion notification in the top-right corner of the screen, close the popup and switch to the **Comments Tab.**&#x20;
* If any conditions in your configured risk flags are found, a **callout** will appear in the asset’s **Comments section.**
* This callout will contain the **"THEN Prompt"** you set, making it easy for you and your colleagues to identify and address issues.
* You can interact directly with these callouts to:
  * **Reply**
  * **Request changes**
  * **Remove**
  * **Mark as resolved**

### **2. Run a check During the Upload process**

* Run a check while uploading: In the **"Asset Detail"** step of the upload process, **scroll down** to the **"Additional Automations**" section.&#x20;
* Here, you will tick the box for **“Run Governance Risk & Compliance Checks”** and then choose the appropriate **Scan option** based on your asset type:
  * **Scan PDF contents** – if your asset is a PDF file
  * **Scan Image contents** – if your asset is an image
* **Continue uploading as usual** — HIVO will automatically process it and you can **view the results once the asset has been successfully uploaded.** At this point, the asset is stored in the library, and the viewing method is similar to the above.

👉 **👉 Note**: **For assets in the Approval stage** (The Assets need to be reviewed and approved by Users with ***'Can Approve'*** permission before being added to the Library):

* Results will not be displayed immediately.&#x20;
* Once the asset is approved and officially stored on the HIVO Library, go to the **Asset Detail Page** and navigate to the "**Comments** **tab"** to see the results.
