Universal Control Framework

One Control Set. Every Framework You Need.

Map your controls across 18+ compliance standards simultaneously. Implement a control once and SnapGRC maps it across ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, CMMC, and beyond — and if a standard doesn’t exist yet, you can build it yourself.

18+ standards, out of the box

Pre-built control sets ready to use from day one.

ISO logo
ISO/IEC 27001:2022

The leading international information security management standard, covering 93 controls across four themes.

SOC 2 logo
SOC 2

Trust service criteria covering security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

NIST logo
NIST 800-53 & CSF

Comprehensive security and privacy controls widely used across US federal and commercial organisations.

Cyber Essentials logo
Cyber Essentials

UK government-backed scheme protecting against the most common cyber threats with five foundational controls.

ISO logo
ISO 9001 & 14001

Quality and environmental management standards used by organisations seeking operational certification.

AS 8003 logo
CMMC & AS 8003

Defence supply chain maturity model and Australian corporate governance standard, both fully supported.

How the UCF works

Built for organisations running more than one standard.

18+ Standards & Growing

ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, CMMC Level 1, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials, AS 8003, and more — with new frameworks added regularly.

Cross-framework Mapping

Implement a control once and SnapGRC maps it across every relevant standard automatically. One action satisfies requirements in multiple frameworks.

Map Your Own Controls

Add controls that are specific to your organisation — internal policies, contractual requirements, or industry obligations — and map them to any framework.

Build Your Own Frameworks

Working to a standard we don’t support yet? Build a custom framework from scratch, define the controls, and manage it exactly like any pre-built standard.

Control Ownership

Assign owners to individual controls, set review schedules, and track who is responsible for what. Every control has a clear owner and a review date.

Coverage Reporting

See at a glance how far your control implementation covers each framework — and exactly where the gaps are — with exportable reports for stakeholders.

No more duplicate work

Implement a control once. Satisfy multiple frameworks.

Most organisations running ISO 27001 and SOC 2 side by side end up maintaining two separate control registers doing the same job twice. The UCF treats controls as shared building blocks — a control implemented for ISO 27001 might simultaneously satisfy SOC 2 and NIST requirements. SnapGRC tracks those mappings automatically, so your team focuses on doing the work rather than tracking it.

  • Controls mapped across frameworks automatically
  • Single implementation satisfies multiple standards
  • Gap analysis shows exactly what is missing per framework
  • Unlimited frameworks on all plans

SnapGRC custom framework builder — build your own compliance framework

Built for your organisation

Your framework, your controls, your rules.

The UCF isn’t just a library of pre-built standards. It’s a flexible platform. Add controls that reflect your specific environment — internal security policies, sector-specific obligations, contractual requirements from a key customer — and manage them alongside your industry frameworks in one unified view.

  • Create custom frameworks from scratch
  • Add organisation-specific controls
  • Mix custom and pre-built controls in any framework
  • All custom content managed the same way as built-in standards
