Use predefined framework templates

Create frameworks using our predefined templates. Choose from templates for GDPR, NIS2, ISO, and more. 

Getting started with frameworks
Under the menu item "Frameworks", you can choose from a range of predefined standards and regulations – such as ISO 27001, NIS2, and GDPR. We’ll keep expanding the list and make sure existing templates stay up to date. Access to specific framework templates depends on which other plans you have purchased. For example, the GDPR template requires the Data Protection plan. Read more here: What is a framework.

Each template includes suggested activities – such as policies, procedures, risk assessments, or security measures to help you get started quickly.

Creating a framework
To create a framework, click Add framework next to the framework you want to plan.

Choose template

  1. Review the prefilled name, description, and compliance area. Edit this information if needed.
  2. Add a framework owner from your organisation.
  3. Click Next to continue.

Selecting controls
The next dialogue displays all available controls within your chosen framework. Select the controls relevant to your organisation – not every control may apply. For any deselected controls, you must specify a reason for exclusion in the notes column. Custom controls can be added later if required.

Each control comprises one or more tasks. Selecting a control will plan all underlying tasks. Hover over the task tag to view task names within each control. Some tasks may span across multiple frameworks, so they might already be planned from other frameworks:

  • Green tag: All tasks within the control are already scheduled
  • Blue tag: Some tasks within the control are scheduled
  • Purple tag: No tasks within the control are scheduled

Assign responsibility and deadlines
For each control, complete the following steps:

  1. Assign a control coordinator. This field is prefilled with the framework owner by default. Once the framework has been planned, you can assign task-level responsibility within each individual control.
  2. Set a deadline. By default, the deadline is set to the upcoming month. All tasks under the control inherit this deadline. To set separate deadlines for individual tasks, edit them after the framework has been created. Any tasks already scheduled with a specific deadline will retain their original deadline.
  3. Add an optional note for the control if needed.

Lastly, you can add an optional note for each control. 

When you are ready, click Create to import the framework.
