When you install the Control Compliance Suite, a default hierarchical structure is created to store objects in the directory. All objects are stored under the root folder. The root folder holds subfolders for each object type. For example, a folder is used for assets, for policies, and for standards. Under the individual object type folder, the user can create a hierarchical structure to store the objects that best suits the organizational needs. For example, in the Assets folder, assets can be stored in a hierarchy that is based on the geographical locations of the organization.
