A Deep Dive into LockThreat’s Control Lifecycle Management

Controls are the backbone of any GRC program.
But in most tools, control management is… shallow.

You can create a control. Maybe assign it. Possibly mark it as “active.”

But where’s the lifecycle?
Where’s the visibility into how that control performs over time — across frameworks, audits, risks, and evidence?

At LockThreat, we built a full Control Lifecycle Management system that:

• Tracks draft → review → approve → activate → retire
• Links controls to one or more frameworks
• Maps controls to risks and policies
• Monitors evidence and control health over time
• Supports reassessments, maturity scoring, and version history

This isn’t just about documentation.
It’s about operationalizing controls as dynamic, traceable, and accountable assets across the enterprise.
