What is the Secure Controls Framework (SCF)?

The Secure Controls Framework (SCF) is an open-source, common security framework designed to help organisations align with over 1,000 global requirements. It integrates standards like NIST, ISO 27001, GDPR, and PCI DSS into a single, scalable approach to managing your security program.

By using a common security framework like SCF, your business can reduce duplication, strengthen oversight, and accelerate audit preparation.

Key Areas Covered by the Secure Controls Framework:

Integrated multi-regulation control mappings
Security, privacy, and IT governance
