SCF - The intelligent Approach to Cybersecurity

The Secure Controls Framework (SCF) is a "common controls framework" that Vigilant Systems and other intelligent organizations leverage to manage their internal cybersecurity and privacy controls. The SCF provides extremely well-referenced and free security and privacy compliance resources.

As a common controls framework, the SCF is able to consolidate and organize requirements from multiple disparate cybersecurity and privacy-related laws, regulations, and frameworks. The resulting solution enables any organization to tailor controls for their specific requirements. The benefits of the SCF include, but are not limited to:

(1) Normalizing requirements across multiple laws, regulations & frameworks in a coherent control taxonomy
(2) Organizing controls into thirty-three (33) logical domains that span modern cybersecurity and privacy practices
(3) Providing Assessment Objectives (AOs) to enable an objective analysis to determine if the control is satisfied

As a trusted SCF Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO), Vigilant is uniquely equipped and experienced to provide customer organizations with hands-on consulting, training, automation tools, premium content, and the SCF Conformity Assessment Program (CAP) evaluations.


Controls are your cybersecurity & privacy program —— A control is the power to influence or direct behaviors and the course of events.”
