What is the SCF?

The Secure Control Framework (SCF) is an open-source, risk- and control-based framework designed to streamline and unify security, privacy, and compliance requirements. SCF organizes controls into 32 domains, covering the full lifecycle of information and systems—from physical infrastructure to application security, privacy, and even business continuity. The SCF is structured around four core principles: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, and Safety (CIAS). It is not a certification or an attestation, but a living framework for implementing and maintaining strong, auditable controls mapped to many regulations and industry standards.
