LogicGate utilizes the SCF to define how we map controls between the standards and regulations which are included as part of our core content repository.
LogicGate's flexible data mapping capabilities allow users to easily view relationships between these controls, as well as between other critical data objects, such as risks, assessments, evidence, policies, and assets. Through these relationships, risk teams can perform an assessment on one control framework and then easily determine the compliance status of a mapped control framework, helping to reduce the amount of time and effort spent by teams needing to ask for the same evidence or attestations over time.
The database technology that LogicGate is built on also enables organizations to easily adjust relationships between controls and other items as regulatory requirements and standards change.
