If a compliance category is not assigned to a compliance policy, what is the consequence?

When a compliance category is not assigned to a compliance policy, the consequence is that the Dashboard cannot display a compliance graph for that policy. Compliance categories play a vital role in associating specific compliance policies with visual representations on the Dashboard, enabling users to understand compliance status at a glance. Without the assignment of a compliance category, the necessary metadata for reporting and graph generation is missing. As a result, even though the policy may still be operational in enforcing compliance checks, the absence of a compliance category means that users will lack visibility into its performance and status through graphical tools on the Dashboard. This scenario highlights the importance of properly categorizing compliance policies for effective monitoring and reporting.
