# Compliance

# 🏛 **Compliance Menu**  
> **"Manage standards, frameworks, and audits."**  
> *Stay organized, stay audit-ready, and ensure continuous improvement.*  

The **Compliance module** centralizes everything you need to maintain and prove conformity with both **internal standards** and **external regulations**.  
It ensures that requirements, policies, audits, and findings are all managed in one place.

Track all applicable **compliance requirements** in one structured view from regulatory obligations to internal standards.

Map your compliance efforts to **recognized frameworks** (e.g., ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2) and ensure each control is tracked against its relevant requirement.
