The Compliancy model

How Compliancy works

A compliance program is a set of objects and the relationships between them: requirements, controls, policies, evidence, risks and owners. Compliancy keeps those relationships intact so status can be reported at any time.

STEP 1

Define

Determine which frameworks apply, what is in scope and who is responsible.

STEP 2

Map

Connect framework requirements to the controls that address them, and see where nothing is mapped yet.

STEP 3

Manage

Connect controls with policies, risks, owners, evidence and vendors so the program has one structure.

STEP 4

Monitor

Understand readiness and outstanding actions continuously, rather than in the weeks before an audit.

STEP 5

Prove

Produce the control, policy and evidence information auditors, customers and stakeholders ask for.

Requirements map to controls. Controls carry policies, evidence and risks. Compliance status is derived from what those objects actually show.

Every risk, with its score and treatment in one view.
