This comprehensive, structured framework of security and privacy controls supports the development, implementation, and governance of protection programs across diverse organizations. Organized into control families, it offers detailed guidance, baselines, and tailoring methods to help you select and apply safeguards aligned with specific risk profiles.
More than just a set of guidelines, this flexible yet standardized framework translates high-level policy into consistent, real-world implementation across cloud, on-prem, hybrid, and multi-vendor environments. Rooted in risk management principles, it helps protect systems, data, and trust across industries, platforms, and regulatory requirements—bridging aspiration and execution to manage risk, streamline compliance, and stay confidently ahead of evolving threats.
A leading research organization developed this modular, scalable cybersecurity and privacy control framework, which has been used globally to protect information systems. It helps organizations of any size manage cyber risk, safeguard personal data, and build secure, compliant, and trustworthy systems.
This framework has been battle-tested across sectors—including finance, healthcare, energy, cloud, and tech. It maps to global standards like ISO 27001, COBIT, and HIPAA, and is trusted by security and compliance leaders focused on building real-world resilience—not just checking boxes.
