Overview
The SCF, also known as the Common Controls Framework (CCF), provides a unified control catalog with over 1,400 controls across 33 domains. It maps to over 200 unique laws, regulations, and frameworks globally, such as GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and more. The framework is created and maintained by volunteers from the cybersecurity and GRC community, ensuring transparent and rigorous methodologies like the NIST IR 8477 Set Theory Relationship Mapping (STRM). As a living control set, SCF is updated quarterly to stay relevant with evolving laws and threat landscapes. It is openly available in machine-readable formats compatible with modern GRC platforms.
