Custom Compliance Frameworks

We can really build anything as a custom framework. Obviously, it should be driven by a specific purpose or compliance goal that you have. That might be satisfying a specific customers’ requirements, a regulation that we don’t already cover in our audits, or even just for internal risk or operating control purposes. We just need a clear view of what is or should be part of that framework in order to build it in a digital form with the right corresponding controls. 

A custom framework can be built around nearly any compliance goal with a clear purpose. Whether you’re responding to a client’s specific requirements, addressing a regulation not covered by standard audits, or building internal controls to support risk management, we can design a framework tailored to your needs. All we need is clarity on what should be included, and we’ll translate it into a structured, digital format with the right control mappings.

In most cases, you’ll use the custom framework to show stakeholders how you meet that framework. For example, if your customer has specific requirements for you to adhere to, we can build that custom framework and map your actual business activities (controls) to it to demonstrate how you meet those requirements. That may be just showing that mapping and your monitoring of those controls, or you may conduct an audit to verify your compliance and provide a report to your stakeholders to prove your compliance with that independent validation.  

Custom frameworks are a powerful way to demonstrate how your organization meets specific obligations. If a customer requires you to meet certain criteria, we can map your business controls directly to those requirements—making it easy to show alignment and track progress. You can use this mapping for internal visibility, or pair it with an independent audit to verify compliance and deliver a trusted report to stakeholders. 

Absolutely. If you’re using a platform like Drata that supports custom frameworks, we’ll provide the framework in a ready-to-import format, making it easy to enable continuous monitoring and streamline compliance management.
