SCF Compliance

One framework to rule them all

Test once, comply with many. The Secure Controls Framework is your master key to NIS2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and more. Stop chasing individual audits. Build a single, strong security program.

Unified Compliance Meta-Framework

What is SCF?

The Secure Controls Framework (SCF) is a complete catalog of controls that maps to over 100 cybersecurity and privacy laws, regulations, and frameworks. It simplifies the complex landscape of compliance.

Meta-Framework

The SCF maps to over 100 cybersecurity and privacy laws, regulations, and frameworks, acting as a 'Rosetta Stone' for compliance.

Coverage Agnostic

Whether you need to comply with EU regulations (NIS2, GDPR), US standards (NIST, SOC 2), or industry rules, SCF covers it all without duplication.

Future Proof

When new regulations emerge (like the EU AI Act), SCF updates its controls, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel for every new law.

Why Adopt a Meta-Framework?

60%
Reduction in audit preparation time by testing once for multiple frameworks
Unified
One set of policies and controls for the whole organization
Gap Analysis
Instantly see where you stand against any new regulation

Map Once, Comply Everywhere

Instead of managing separate compliance projects for each standard, use SCF to manage them all at once.

Common Mappings

We map SCF to these frequently requested standards

  • • NIS2 Directive
    EU-wide cybersecurity requirements
  • • ISO 27001 & 27002
    Information security management
  • • PCI DSS v4.0
    Payment card security
  • • SOC 2 Type 1 & 2
    Service organization controls
  • • NIST CSF 2.0
    Cybersecurity Framework
  • • EU AI Act
    Artificial Intelligence regulation

Strategic Value

Efficiency & Clarity

Eliminate Redundancy

Don't implement "Access Control" three different times for three different standards. Do it once with SCF and map it to all of them.

Common Language

Use a standardized set of privacy and security controls that everyone in your organization can understand, regardless of the specific regulation.

Instant Self-Assessment

By assessing against SCF, you instantly know where you stand against multiple frameworks simultaneously.

Who Should Use SCF?

Organizations facing complex compliance requirements benefit most from the SCF's unified approach.

  • • Multi-national organizations operating in different jurisdictions
  • • Companies subject to multiple compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2 + ISO + NIS2)
  • • Organizations tired of 'audit fatigue' and redundant testing
  • • Security leaders wanting a single source of truth for controls
  • • Companies preparing for rapid scaling and future regulations

SCF Compliance FAQ

What is the Secure Controls Framework (SCF)?

The Secure Controls Framework is a free, full cybersecurity and privacy controls catalog that maps to over 100 laws, regulations, and frameworks worldwide. Think of it as a master index: instead of building separate control sets for NIS2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and SOC 2, you implement a single SCF-aligned program that satisfies all of them simultaneously.

How does SCF differ from implementing individual frameworks like ISO 27001 or NIS2?

Individual frameworks require you to build and evidence controls independently for each standard, which creates duplicated effort, conflicting documentation, and audit fatigue. SCF provides a unified control language that maps across all frameworks. You test each control once, generate unified evidence, and the SCF crosswalk tells you which frameworks that evidence satisfies. Organizations using SCF typically reduce audit preparation time by 40-60%.

Is SCF officially recognized by regulators?

SCF is not itself a certification standard - it is a meta-framework. Regulators (NIS2, GDPR supervisory authorities, PCI SSC) recognize the underlying frameworks that SCF maps to, not SCF directly. However, SCF-aligned programs consistently pass audits for all mapped standards because the framework is designed to meet or exceed each standard's requirements.

How do we get started with SCF adoption?

We begin with a current-state assessment: mapping your existing controls against SCF to identify gaps across all your target frameworks simultaneously. This produces a unified gap report with a prioritized remediation roadmap. From there, we build your SCF program in phases, starting with the highest-priority controls that close the most gaps across the most frameworks.
