Enterprises that manage compliance across multiple business units or product structures face many challenges. Lack of visibility into specific workspaces, redundant work across business units, and irrelevant assets in scope for different audits are just a few examples of the challenges that complex organizations face. 

Manual compliance processes and legacy GRC solutions have proven inefficient in solving these challenges, lacking the customizability and scalability needed to manage compliance across complex business structures. Siloed workflows, disconnected data sources, and rigid scoping rules often lead to duplicated efforts, inconsistent control implementation, and audit fatigue. These types of inefficiencies not only slow down compliance efforts, but also increase the risk of unmet security and regulatory requirements. 

That’s why we launched Secureframe Workspaces. Workspaces extends Secureframe’s custom automation capabilities, providing organizations with the visibility and flexibility needed to manage their compliance program across multiple business units and products while reducing duplicate work and inefficiencies.

What is Secureframe Workspaces?

Secureframe Workspaces is a new capability designed to simplify compliance management instead of adding complexity to it. Workspaces enables complex organizations with multiple business units, divisions, and product lines to easily customize, manage, and automate compliance with different requirements at a business unit or product level in a single Secureframe account. 

With this new capability, organizations with multiple business units and product structures can:

• Manage their compliance program across multiple business units and products from a single screen
• Easily segment and customize compliance by business unit
• Minimize scope and reduce time to audit for different business units
• Use a single shared common control layer across the enterprise
• View unified compliance at the organizational level

Why Secureframe Workspaces is important to enterprise customers

Secureframe's latest innovation increases adaptability in the Secureframe platform, providing the following benefits:

• Unified source of truth: Monitor compliance at the organization level and individual business unit or product level from a single Secureframe account, ensuring different personas and stakeholders have the visibility they need to manage and report on all of your compliance programs.
• Improved visibility into your compliance posture: Gain complete visibility into your organization’s risks and compliance posture by consolidating data across all business units and Workspaces so you can quickly identify and prioritize high-risk areas to address compliance gaps proactively. 
• Reduced work across business units: Avoid duplicate work and accelerate audit processes across business units, products, or groups by using a single shared common control layer and reusing evidence and documentation.
• Automated asset scoping: Ensure only relevant assets are included in different audits by automatically setting rules for cloud resources, repositories, devices, and other asset types for your frameworks. 
• Support for point-in-time updates to assets: If an asset’s attributes change, Secureframe will automatically re-run scoping rules to ensure your audit scope remains accurate.
• Simplified audit management: Simplify audit management by minimizing audit scope and reducing time-to-audit for different business units.
