# Frameworks Management

> Add, configure, and manage compliance frameworks in Iru. Map controls to actions, track progress, and maintain audit-ready documentation.

The **Frameworks** page is where you pick the standards your organization tracks, such as **SOC 2**, **ISO 27001**, **ISO 42001**, **HIPAA**, and others your tenant lists. Use **Add framework** and **Select your \[framework] starting point** to generate, import, or build **controls**. **Actions** and evidence collection follow. You can also import from another tool or upload a CSV when you migrate.

## How It Works

Pick a standard (or a custom framework), then generate tailored controls from your **organization profile**, import controls, or build them manually. Iru maps what you define to the framework’s requirements.

You can run built-in standards side by side with custom frameworks when you need internal policies that are not in the catalog.

When your integrations or policy artifacts change, Iru AI may surface **Control Update** recommendations on framework cards, on the framework detail page, or in **Home** → **Insights**. You review side-by-side diffs and approve what to apply; nothing changes until you confirm. See [Adaptive Compliance](/en/compliance/adaptive-compliance).

## Capabilities

#### Add a Framework

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Frameworks">
    On the left navigation bar, expand **Compliance** and select **Frameworks**.

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/iru/7HsGH7lnQ8GpVmI0/assets/media/images/iru-navigation-compliance-frameworks.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=7HsGH7lnQ8GpVmI0&q=85&s=5e04644a65deaff37057dcfc8e3bd8fc" alt="Left navigation: Compliance expanded, Frameworks selected" width="432" height="1056" data-path="assets/media/images/iru-navigation-compliance-frameworks.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the Frameworks page">
    The main area is titled **Frameworks**. Use **+ Add framework** (top right) when you are ready to add a program (next step). Each framework already in scope appears as a **card** with the framework **name**, a short **description**, **Select audit period** for the audit window, **artifacts mapped**, and how **controls** roll up. For **SOC 2**, the card can show counts by **Trust Services Criteria** (**Security**, **Availability**, **Confidentiality**, **Processing integrity**, **Privacy**); other frameworks may show a single **controls** total and progress. **View controls** opens that framework’s detail work. The **…** (**More**) menu on a card lists **Additional actions**: **Edit audit details** and **Delete framework**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add framework">
    Click **Add framework** to open the **Add a new framework** modal.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a framework">
    In **Add a new framework**, pick from **Active** frameworks you can add now. Additional frameworks may appear under **Coming soon** until they are available for your tenant.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your starting point">
    After you choose a framework, **Select your \[framework] starting point** opens. The title includes the framework you picked (for example **Select your ISO 27001 starting point**). Pick how to build your control set:

    * **Iru AI**: **Generate tailored controls** (labeled **Recommended**). Answer questions about your company, goals, and context so Iru generates controls.
    * **Migrate**: **Migrate from Vanta** (and similar options when your tenant lists them). Import controls you already maintain in Vanta.
    * **Manual**: **Use a generic control framework**, **Upload pre-filled CSV**, or **Start from scratch**.
      Click **Back** to return and pick a different framework or path.
  </Step>
</Steps>

#### Tailor with AI

When you choose **Generate tailored controls** in **Select your \[framework] starting point**, work through the prompts (company profile, goals, stack, and other questions Iru asks for that framework). Iru then generates **tailored controls** and actions mapped to the framework’s requirements.

#### Import Frameworks or Controls

Use this section when you pick **Upload pre-filled CSV**, **Migrate from Vanta**, or **Use a generic control framework** in **Select your \[framework] starting point**, or when you open **Frameworks** → **Import** and your tenant lists additional providers (for example **Drata**, **Secureframe**, or **Sprinto**).

* Imported data is normalized to align with Iru mappings where the integration supports it.
* **Upload pre-filled CSV:** Download the CSV template, fill it out, and upload; you can add, edit, or delete controls afterward.
* **Migrate from another tool:** Requires an API key from the source product where applicable:
  * **Vanta:** [Vanta API access](https://developer.vanta.com/docs/api-access-setup)
  * **Drata:** [Drata public API](https://help.drata.com/en/articles/6695964-drata-public-api)
  * **Secureframe**, **Sprinto:** Use **Frameworks** → **Import** when your tenant lists these providers.

**Migration behavior (high level)**

* **SOC 2:** Migrations from supported vendors typically bring across requirements and internal controls in a form that maps to Iru’s structure.
* **ISO 27001 and ISO 42001:** Behavior depends on the source:
  * **Vanta:** Full migration of requirements and controls is supported.
  * **Drata, Secureframe, Sprinto:** ISO imports are often limited because those products model ISO controls differently than Iru (for example one control per requirement). Importing ISO wholesale can produce a rigid control set that does not match Iru’s tailored controls.

If you are moving **ISO** from **Drata**, **Secureframe**, or **Sprinto**, choose **Use a generic control framework** in **Select your \[framework] starting point** instead of importing ISO controls directly when you want Iru to generate a tailored set from your organization profile. You can still reference existing documentation outside the import.

To add a fully **custom framework** (internal policies or standards not in the catalog), use **Add framework** and the path your tenant provides for custom programs, or define controls manually after you create the framework record.

#### Manage Frameworks

After you open a framework from the list (**View controls**), you can:

* See **Readiness** and overall progress for that framework
* Choose **Export** or **Add a control** in the page header
* See the full **list of controls** generated or imported
* Search and filter **All controls** (for example by **Status**) while controls finish generating
* **Customize controls** (edit, add, or remove based on company context)
* View the **specific framework requirements** each control is mapped to
* See the **list of actions** attached to each control
* Review **artifacts** that are linked to actions and controls
* **Track readiness** across all controls within the framework in one place
* Open **Review Control Updates** from the framework header or card when Iru AI has pending control and action text recommendations (same workflow as **Home** → **Insights**). See [Adaptive Compliance](/en/compliance/adaptive-compliance).
