Overview#

The Security Policies module provides centralized management of enterprise security controls, compliance frameworks, and policy enforcement. By unifying multiple compliance standards under a single control library, the platform automates policy creation, enforcement, attestation, evidence collection, and continuous compliance monitoring, reducing compliance costs while maintaining consistent security posture across all organizational systems.

Key Features#

  • Policy Lifecycle Management - Create, version, approve, and distribute security policies through structured workflows. Template-based authoring with automatic mapping to compliance frameworks accelerates policy creation. Multi-stage approval chains, digital signatures, and change tracking ensure governance at every step.

  • Multi-Framework Compliance - Pre-configured control frameworks for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, HIPAA Security Rule, PCI-DSS v4.0, and GDPR, with support for custom frameworks. A unified control library maps organizational policies across multiple standards simultaneously, eliminating duplicate work.

  • Policy Attestation and Distribution - Automated policy distribution to applicable personnel based on roles and departments. Track employee acknowledgment with digital signatures, comprehension testing, and automatic re-attestation when policies are updated.

  • Security Control Enforcement - Implement and enforce technical security controls across identity and access management, data protection, network security, and application security. Automated monitoring detects policy deviations and triggers remediation workflows to prevent configuration drift.

  • Automated Evidence Collection - Integrate with identity providers, cloud infrastructure, security tools, development platforms, and HR systems to automatically collect compliance evidence. Reduce manual evidence gathering while maintaining a complete, audit-ready evidence repository.

  • Compliance Monitoring and Dashboards - Real-time dashboards showing compliance status by framework, control implementation progress, risk heat maps, and evidence collection completeness. Continuous monitoring detects control failures and policy drift before audit findings occur.

  • Audit Preparation - Pre-audit checklists, organized evidence packages, and automated report generation streamline audit preparation. A secure auditor portal provides real-time evidence access with finding management and remediation tracking.

  • Risk Management - Continuous risk assessment with threat modeling, vulnerability evaluation, and control gap analysis. Risk scoring prioritizes remediation based on business impact and threat likelihood, with automated monitoring and alerting on risk threshold changes.

Supported Frameworks#

  • SOC 2 Type II - Trust Services Criteria covering control environment, risk assessment, control activities, logical and physical access, system operations, and change management
  • ISO 27001:2022 - Organizational, people, physical, and technological controls across 93 control areas
  • HIPAA Security Rule - Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protected health information
  • PCI-DSS v4.0 - Requirements for secure networks, cardholder data protection, access control, monitoring, and security policy
  • GDPR - Lawful processing, data subject rights, security of processing, privacy by design, and breach notification
  • Custom Frameworks - Define organization-specific compliance requirements with full control mapping

Use Cases#

  • Multi-framework compliance by managing SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR from a single platform with shared controls and evidence, eliminating redundant audit work.
  • Continuous compliance assurance through automated monitoring that detects control failures and policy drift in real time, rather than discovering issues during periodic audits.
  • Streamlined audit preparation with automated evidence collection, organized evidence packages, and audit-ready reports that reduce preparation time from weeks to days.
  • Proactive risk management with continuous risk assessment, automated risk scoring, and prioritized remediation that addresses the highest-impact risks first.
  • Policy governance at scale for organizations with complex regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions, industries, and data classification levels.

Getting Started#

  1. Select Frameworks - Choose which compliance frameworks apply to your organization and configure their control requirements.
  2. Define Policies - Create security policies using templates and map them to applicable framework controls.
  3. Configure Enforcement - Activate technical security controls and set enforcement modes (audit or enforce).
  4. Connect Evidence Sources - Integrate with identity providers, cloud platforms, and security tools for automated evidence collection.
  5. Launch Attestation - Distribute policies to applicable personnel and begin tracking acknowledgment and compliance.

Availability#

  • Enterprise Plan: Included (all frameworks, automated evidence collection, risk management, auditor portal)
  • Professional Plan: Core policy management and SOC 2 framework included; additional frameworks and advanced features available as add-on
