This article will show you how to locate and modify Communication Settings in the Ostendio Platform.
Ostendio is designed to operationalize and automate your security and compliance workflows. Ostendio sends weekly emails to all employees on the platform with their compliance score, pending tasks, and a security tip. Email notifications are also sent to remind users about pending and completed tasks such as taking a training, approving a document, or updating an audit.
