How LockThreat Automates Framework-to-Policy Mapping

Written by

One of the most tedious (and error-prone) jobs in GRC? Mapping frameworks to policies — and keeping them in sync.

Most teams do it manually — matching controls to NIST, PCI-DSS, ISO clauses line-by-line.

Here’s the problem:

  • It’s slow
  • It’s easy to miss updates
  • It doesn’t scale across entities

That’s why we built framework-to-policy mapping recommendations in LockThreat.

It works like this:

  • You activate a framework (e.g., ISO 27001)
  • LockThreat suggests relevant internal controls
  • Those controls are linked to existing policies
  • All mappings are traceable, editable, and reportable

This means:

  • Faster audits
  • Easier gap assessments
  • More consistency across your compliance stack

And when frameworks update? You’ll know which policies are impacted — automatically.
