A compliance assessment should end in a verdict you can defend

Most organisations still run compliance on spreadsheets, Word templates and consultants’ time. The answers sit in one file and the evidence in someone’s inbox, the same control is researched again for every framework, and the result depends on who filled it in.

We built Security Compliance Hub to change that. The same answers always give the same result, in each standard’s own terms; every gap comes with what good looks like; and the evidence travels with the report. It’s built in the UK by Cyber3D, a security consultancy, and covers 20 frameworks, from Cyber Essentials and the NCSC CAF to NIS2, DORA, SOC 2, ISO 42001 and CMMC.

The Old Way
  • A result that depends on who filled in the spreadsheet
  • Self-attested answers nobody checks
  • Expert knowledge locked in a consultant’s head
  • One framework at a time, the same control researched for each
  • Evidence in inboxes, and a report out of date once it’s saved
The SCH Way
  • Rules work out the verdict: same answers, same result
  • Answers checked against live readings from your own tools
  • Phronesis explains the result and answers questions as you go
  • 20 frameworks, with crosswalks linking related questions
  • Evidence Vault and an Audit Pack with integrity hashes

Compliance Re-engineered

Twenty frameworks. Four live integrations. One platform built for the SMEs and regulated organisations the GRC market forgot.

Assess

Twenty production-grade frameworks

Cyber Essentials v3.3, CAF (incl. NHS DSPT), DORA, ISO 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management system certification readiness), NIS2, NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls v8.1, SOC 2 Readiness, UK GDPR, AI Governance (the EU AI Act; ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF as good practice), the Cyber Resilience Maturity Assessment, SOC Maturity, the full SOC-CMM model, PE Cyber Due Diligence, CMMC Level 2, FedRAMP Moderate, HIPAA, DCC readiness for MOD suppliers (Levels 0–3), and the free Compliance Readiness check. From 30 to 667 questions each. Weighted scoring. Gap analysis. Not a checklist generator.

Connect

Your tools are already producing the signal. We read it.

Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, CrowdStrike Falcon, and Okta connect once, read-only. Their live readings, including MFA coverage, endpoint compliance, prevention policies, and identity posture, are checked against your answers in the report: each answer agrees, disagrees or can’t be checked, and an “in place” answer the tools contradict counts as partly in place until you explain it. Evidence, not just assertion.

Manage

Built for portfolios, not point-in-time projects

Multi-tenant client management, per-client assessment scoping, remediation tracking, and AI-generated policy documents for every client in your portfolio.

AI that does the thinking,
not the ticking

Phronesis AI runs on every assessment. Not a chatbot. A structured analysis engine that reads your gaps and tells you what to do about them.

Phronesis AI

Analysis, guidance & remediation

Reads your scores, identifies critical gaps, maps your 90-day remediation roadmap, and generates board-ready output. Ask it anything mid-assessment: per-control regulatory guidance, remediation options, what a finding means for your sector. It answers in context. Not generic boilerplate. Calibrated to your actual gaps.

Third Party Risk Hub

External verification, not self-attestation

Questionnaire distribution to suppliers with no login required. Passive domain scanning across DNS, TLS, breach databases, and Companies House cross-checks self-reported answers against live signals. Weekly automated re-scans alert you when a supplier’s posture degrades between assessments.

Standard mode scores your answers against the framework. Deep Analysis goes further — it reads your evidence notes, cross-references your connected tools (Entra ID, CrowdStrike, Okta, Google Workspace), and grounds every judgement against the framework’s own official guidance, flagging contradictions between what you said and what your tools actually show. Every finding it raises becomes a tracked action in the Remediation Tracker — not a paragraph you’ll forget by Friday.

That contradiction-flagging goes furthest on SOC 2 Readiness, because SOC 2 itself is built around a distinction most frameworks don’t make: a control being designed — a policy exists on paper — is a different question from whether it’s actually operating, which is what a Type II auditor spends 6–12 months sampling evidence for. A self-reported “yes” can only ever speak to design. A live pull from a connected tool is a genuine, if partial, step toward operating evidence — it confirms the control is true right now, not just written down. Run a Deep Analysis with Entra ID, Okta, CrowdStrike Falcon, or Google Workspace connected, and every control your tools can actually speak to gets checked against what you declared:

Risk Scenarios aren’t hypothetical. A scenario is only surfaced when its enabling weaknesses are actually present — a vulnerability becomes “enabled” when a specific assessment answer fails, when a section score drops below a set threshold, or when a connected tool signal (CrowdStrike, Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace) surfaces something the self-reported answer didn’t. Close the gap and the scenario’s exposure drops, or it disappears from the list entirely.

Your assessment gaps mapped to real-world loss events — in business terms, not just IT findings.

Not every risk comes from a scored control. The Risk Register in My Hub tracks your organisation’s standing risks — a likelihood and impact you set yourself, an owner, and a decision on how you’re handling it (treat, transfer, accept, or avoid) — whether promoted from a Risk Scenario above, pushed from a Remediation Tracker action, or logged manually for something no assessment can see.

“Compliance shouldn’t require a consultant, a spreadsheet, and a prayer.
It should be continuous, connected, and proportionate to what you actually face.”

One answer, twelve frameworks

Finish a Cyber Essentials assessment on Monday. See it referenced on your CAF assessment Tuesday — without touching a spreadsheet.

Most organisations working toward more than one framework end up answering close to the same question five or six times, once per framework, because CE, CAF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, NIST CSF 2.0, NIS2 and DCC all ask about MFA, patching, incident response and supplier access — just worded differently and scored differently. ISO 42001 shares its audits, reviews and risk process with ISO 27001, and much of what AI Governance asks. DORA asks much of what NIS2 and ISO 27001 do, from ICT risk management to incident reporting and suppliers. SOC 2 Readiness covers much the same ground as ISO 27001 and NIST CSF 2.0, from access and change to monitoring and recovery. UK GDPR’s security of processing, breach handling and processors meet ISO 27001’s controls, and its notices, consent and individuals’ rights meet SOC 2’s privacy criteria. SCH cross-references every finalised assessment you’ve completed and surfaces what you already said, right underneath the related question on the next framework you run.

Here’s what it looks like in practice — a practitioner who finalised Cyber Essentials starts a NIST CSF 2.0 assessment next, and sees this beneath the related question:

NIST CSF 2.0 · PROTECT · PR.AA
PR.AA‑03
Is multi-factor authentication enforced for all users accessing cloud-based services?
Fully aligned — enforced everywhere, no exceptions
Partially aligned — enforced on some services
Not aligned — not enforced
🔗 Cyber Essentials — “Is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled on ALL cloud services?”: Yes, MFA is enabled on all cloud services. Finalised 12 Aug 2026 · informational only, not applied to this answer
Cross-framework references are Security Compliance Hub’s own analysis relating similar requirements — not an official or certified equivalence between frameworks.
Why it matters

Built for portfolios running more than one framework

  • Saves re-answering. You see your own prior answer immediately, instead of digging back through a finished assessment to check what you said.
  • Never auto-fills. Every hint is a reference, not a suggestion — you still make the call on the current framework’s own question.
  • Works both ways. Finalise NIST CSF 2.0 first, and the same hint appears back on Cyber Essentials the next time it’s opened.
  • NIS2 is mapped from its own side. Its 60 questions are broader than any other framework’s, so each NIS2 relationship was written from NIS2 out to the other framework, and the hints back onto your NIS2 questions come from the same tables.

Cyber Essentials and CAF answers, under the DCC controls they relate to

DCC is the seventh framework in the hub, linked to the two it genuinely overlaps. Cyber Essentials is a DCC prerequisite, and every CE control area reappears inside DCC’s Protect objective, usually asked more strictly. CAF is the structure DCC is built on, so most CAF outcomes have a DCC control of the same name. Finalise either one and the related DCC controls show what you answered, under each control’s heading; finalise DCC and the hints appear back on CE and CAF. Informational only, like the rest of the hub: a Cyber Essentials “Yes” is a starting point for DCC, not a pass.

33 CE questions · all 41 CAF outcomes · 102 of 149 DCC controls

Two more pairs go a step further than the hub above. CMMC Level 2 ↔ FedRAMP and NIST CSF 2.0 ↔ HIPAA aren’t part of the hub — each is backed by a real, official NIST-published control mapping, not our own interpretation, so instead of just showing what you answered elsewhere, SCH suggests a translated answer at medium confidence, which you can accept or override on the spot.

suggests answer CMMC Level 2 FedRAMP Rev5 Moderate

Sourced directly from NIST’s own SP 800‑171 ↔ SP 800‑53 control mapping — the same catalog both frameworks are built from. Works in both directions: finalise either one first, and it feeds a suggested answer to the other.

123 shared NIST SP 800‑53 controls
suggests answer NIST CSF 2.0 HIPAA Security Rule

Chained through two official NIST crosswalks — SP 800‑66 Rev 2’s HIPAA ↔ CSF v1.1 mapping, joined to NIST’s own CSF v1.1 → v2.0 transition table — so the version gap between the two is bridged with NIST’s own data, never a guess.

Partial Risk‑Informed Repeatable Adaptive

Every NIST CSF 2.0 report now includes an indicative Implementation Tier, mapped from your own answers onto NIST’s three official Tier dimensions — not a blunt conversion of your percentage score. Your overall Tier reflects your weakest dimension, never an average, and stays hidden until all three have at least one answer.

How it all fits together

The assessment engine, Phronesis AI, and Third Party Risk Hub run on a shared trust and data foundation, with read-only connections to your security tools checking your answers in the report.

Security Compliance Hub platform architecture. Who plugs in: organisations chasing compliance, MSPs and vCISOs managing multi-client portfolios, and PE firms running cyber due diligence. The platform: a read-only integration mesh (Microsoft Entra and Microsoft 365, Microsoft Sentinel, SharePoint, Okta, CrowdStrike, Google Workspace) that checks your answers; the assessment engine with 20 frameworks across UK and EU, international, US and specialist standards, plus the free Compliance Readiness check; Phronesis AI for analysis, guidance and remediation; and the outputs: Evidence Vault, Audit Pack, Risk Management, Policy Generator, Remediation Tracker and Compliance Passport. The Third Party Risk Hub sends supplier questionnaires, scans suppliers externally and raises weekly drift alerts. The foundation: sign-in with multi-factor authentication and role-based access control, an encrypted database and file storage hosted in London, and automated CI/CD with continuous security scanning.
