Define the Scope of Your Compliance Audit

Set controls out of scope to exclude them from your compliance score and from generated reports.

If a control in a framework isn't part of your audit, set it out of scope. Mondoo excludes out-of-scope controls from your compliance score and hides them from generated reports.

Every control is in scope by default. Scope changes apply per space; setting a control out of scope in one space doesn't affect other spaces.

Setting a control out of scope hides it from your reports entirely. If you want to exclude a control from your score but still show it to your auditor with a justification, set an exception instead.
