Organization Settings ​

Organization settings define a small set of defaults that apply across projects. These defaults are most valuable when they're set early and used consistently across governance, risk quantification, and reporting.

What this is ​

Organization settings help you keep governance consistent:

  • a single currency for monetary risk quantification and budgets
  • a default UI language for the organization
  • an organization description used as context in reports and exports
  • integration controls to enable or disable specific Sources and Connectors organization-wide

Where in Modulos ​

Most organization settings are managed by organization admins, but viewable by regular members.

  • Organization → Settings
Organization settings page showing currency, default language, and organization description.
Organization settings are where admins set currency and language defaults and maintain the organization profile. UI shown in light mode.

Who can do what ​

Permissions

  • Organization Admins can update currency, language, and profile details.
  • Organization Members can typically view these settings but cannot change them.

If you can’t access the page, ask an organization admin to confirm your access.

How it works ​

Currency ​

Modulos treats money as the universal comparison unit for risk:

  • it forces risk statements into stakeholder-relevant terms
  • it allows prioritization across risk types
  • it connects directly to risk appetite, which is expressed as resource allocation

The currency you choose becomes the unit for:

  • organization risk appetite and budgets
  • quantified risk values such as expected loss
  • rollups and reports where monetary values appear

Modulos does not automatically convert historical values if you change currency later. Set currency early and keep it stable.

Default language ​

The organization language sets the default UI language for the organization. It affects interface labels and some exports.

It does not translate your organization content. Control descriptions, evidence summaries, and uploaded documents stay as written.

Organization profile ​

The organization name is set when the organization is created. The description is editable and serves two purposes: it provides context in reports and exports, and it is injected directly into Scout's system prompt. A well-written organization description significantly improves the relevance and specificity of Scout's answers across all projects.

Integration controls (Admin Panel) ​

Organization admins can enable or disable specific Sources and Connectors organization-wide through the Admin Panel. This provides centralized control over which external integrations are available to users and projects within the organization.

How it works:

  • When a Source type is disabled, users cannot create new sources of that type in any project
  • When a Source type is disabled, existing tests using that source type will fail
  • When a Connector type is disabled, users cannot create new connectors of that type
  • Disabled integrations remain hidden from the UI for non-admin users
  • Admins can re-enable integrations at any time

Why use it:

  • Enforce organizational security policies by restricting certain integrations
  • Prevent use of integrations that don't meet compliance requirements
  • Control costs by limiting which external services can be connected
  • Simplify the UI by hiding integrations your organization doesn't use

Where in Modulos:

  • Admin Panel → Integration Controls (available to Organization Admins only)

Integration availability

If you don't see an expected Source or Connector type, check with your organization admin to confirm it's enabled for your organization.

How to use it ​

1

Set currency

Choose the currency used for risk appetite and quantified values

2

Set language

Choose the default UI language for the organization

3

Add description

Write a short org profile used as context in reporting

4

Save

Apply changes for the organization

Important considerations ​

  • Changing currency later does not retro-convert existing monetary values.
  • Language affects the UI, not your content. Treat it as a display preference, not translation.
  • If you don’t see Organization → Settings, your organization role may not include settings access.
