What are Compliance Frameworks?

Compliance frameworks are structured sets of security controls organized into control groups. They provide the foundation for your audit programs and define which controls need to be tested.

Platform Frameworks

Pre-built frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS available in the marketplace for licensing.

Custom Frameworks

Create your own frameworks with custom control groups and controls tailored to your needs.
