Crosswalk feature overview

The problem

Managing controls without duplicating work can be challenging for many organizations. If your organization operates with a large number of controls, or has multiple compliance frameworks with many controls, chances are you’re duplicating work. Whether this looks like managing the same controls in multiple frameworks or working with outdated, unhealthy controls, Hyperproof can help you streamline your control management process.

The solution

Working with related requirements allows you to consolidate to a smaller, more manageable set of cross-linked controls. By navigating between your framework requirements, you can manually identify opportunities for control consolidation. Hyperproof's crosswalk feature helps you establish related requirements based on the Secure Controls Framework (SCF), a comprehensive catalog of controls that allows organizations to design, build, and maintain secure processes, systems, and applications.

Hyperproof bases its crosswalks on SCF's related requirement mapping, and then makes extensive revisions. The SCF model maps requirements from other frameworks to SCF "topics", i.e. control names. Requirements that share the same topic are considered to be related. The framework currently incorporates over 1200 controls, is baselined across more than 150 regulations and standards, and is regularly updated.

Using Hyperproof’s crosswalk feature helps you become more efficient in managing your various compliance projects. Because you’ll have already done most of the work in one program, you’ll only need to collect proof for a smaller set of controls, saving you and your team hours or weeks' worth of work.

Example scenario

Your organization already stood up an ISO 27001 program, now you want to stand up a SOC 2 program. Hyperproof examines the requirements in both programs and then maps requirements found in your ISO 27001 program to your SOC 2 program. Hyperproof calls these mapped requirements related requirements.

The crosswalk feature maps related requirements across the following frameworks:

Hyperproof has created an extensive crosswalk dataset. You can use the dataset workbook to inspect the changes, view and download crosswalks, and add comments/suggestions. See Using the crosswalk datasetUsing the crosswalk dataset
