Your Compliance Mapping is Probably Wrong

Most compliance tools start with the same idea. Here is a checklist. Tick the boxes. Move on.

The trouble is that compliance does not actually work in neat, isolated lists.

One control often supports multiple frameworks at the same time. An access control policy, for example, can apply to ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, GDPR, DORA, and NIS2. Yet most teams still manage each of those separately. That leads to duplicated effort, missed overlaps, and a lot of manual reconciliation before audits.

We wanted to approach this differently.

A Single Set of Assessments, Mapped Properly

RateYourCyber now includes five self-guided assessments that most teams can complete in a couple of hours:

• Cybersecurity Maturity - Eight domains covering governance, risk, detection, response, and recovery
• Business Continuity - Resilience and continuity planning aligned with ISO 22301, DORA, and regulatory expectations
• HR Security - Controls that follow the employee lifecycle from onboarding through offboarding
• Physical Security - Premises, access control, and environmental safeguards
• Data Privacy - GDPR readiness and data protection practices

Alongside this, vulnerability scanning runs continuously in the background so technical exposure is not separated from governance and process.

Mapped Across Six Major Frameworks

The results from those assessments are automatically mapped across:

• ISO 27001:2022
• NIST CSF 2.0
• SOC 2 Type II
• GDPR
• DORA
• NIS2

These are not generic spreadsheet mappings. The coverage is calculated based on the controls you actually have in place and how you scored them.

What You See in the Compliance Dashboard

Once the assessments are complete, the Compliance Dashboard gives a clear view of where you stand.

Coverage percentage - How much of each framework you have addressed. If ISO 27001 shows 97 percent coverage, you know nearly all control areas are touched.

Maturity percentage - How well those controls are implemented. Coverage without maturity is just documentation. Seeing both matters.

Control gaps - Specific controls that are missing or only partially implemented, rather than broad recommendations.

Domain breakdown - A practical way to see imbalance. You might have strong cybersecurity controls but very weak data privacy, which helps prioritise work.

One Control, Many Requirements

This is where things become simpler.

A single, well-implemented access control policy can meet requirements in ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, GDPR, DORA, and NIS2 at the same time. Instead of documenting it six times, we track it once and show its impact across every relevant framework.

You always know what that control contributes and where it falls short.

Statement of Applicability Included

For teams working toward ISO 27001 or preparing for audits, the Statement of Applicability is built in.

For each control, you can see:

• Your implementation score
• Which frameworks it maps to
• Evidence drawn from your assessment responses
• Status such as implemented, partial, or gap

You can filter by framework, by domain, or export the view for audit preparation.

A Clearer Picture, Earlier

The goal is not to replace advice or expertise where it is needed. It is to give teams a clear, accurate picture of their compliance position early, without months of manual mapping or duplicated work.

A few hours of structured input gives visibility across six major frameworks and a much better starting point for whatever comes next.

Stop treating compliance as separate silos. Start managing it as a connected system.
