Frameworks

A Compliance Framework represents a structured set of standards, policies, and controls designed to meet specific regulatory or industry requirements (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOC 2).

Each framework is composed of multiple criteria — individual evaluation points that collectively determine an organization's level of compliance. By systematically assessing input data (such as documents, URLs, or structured records) against these criteria, the system can provide a measurable and interpretable compliance result.

Structure of Framework

• Framework: The overarching regulation or compliance domain.
• Criteria: Sub-components within the framework, each representing a distinct requirement or control.

Evaluating a document set against these criteria yields individual scores or insights, which can be aggregated to estimate overall compliance.
