Compliance Frameworks

Five frameworks, one platform. AuditFront maps controls across ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2, and Technical Due Diligence so you can assess once and satisfy multiple standards.

GDPR

General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679

Europe's landmark data protection regulation that reshaped how organizations worldwide handle personal data. GDPR establishes strict requirements for collecting, processing, and storing personal information of EU residents, with enforcement penalties reaching up to 4% of global annual turnover. Demonstrating GDPR compliance is essential for any organization serving European customers and has become a de facto global privacy standard.

ISO 27001

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 — Information Security Management Systems

The global gold standard for information security management. ISO 27001:2022 provides a systematic framework for managing sensitive company information, ensuring it remains secure through a risk-based approach. Trusted by over 70,000 organizations worldwide, certification demonstrates to clients, partners, and regulators that your security practices meet internationally recognized benchmarks.

SOC 2

SOC 2 — Service Organization Control 2 (Trust Services Criteria)

The compliance benchmark that unlocks enterprise sales. SOC 2, developed by the AICPA, evaluates your organization's controls relevant to security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy. A SOC 2 Type II report is the most requested compliance artifact in B2B SaaS sales cycles, giving prospective customers confidence that their data is handled with rigorous, independently verified safeguards.

NIS2

NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555 — Network and Information Security

The EU's most ambitious cybersecurity legislation, significantly expanding the scope and enforcement of its predecessor. NIS2 imposes stringent cybersecurity risk management and incident reporting obligations on essential and important entities across 18 critical sectors. With management liability provisions and fines up to 10 million EUR or 2% of global turnover, NIS2 demands board-level attention to cybersecurity governance across the European Union.

Tech Due Diligence

Technical Due Diligence — Comprehensive Technology Assessment

The critical technology evaluation that drives investment and M&A decisions. Technical Due Diligence provides a structured, thorough assessment of a company's technology stack, engineering practices, security posture, team capabilities, and operational maturity. Whether preparing for a funding round, acquisition, or strategic partnership, a rigorous tech DD report builds investor confidence and identifies risks before they become deal-breakers.

Cross-framework control mapping

Many compliance controls overlap across frameworks. ISO 27001 A.5.1 maps to SOC 2 CC1.1, GDPR Article 24, and NIS2 Article 20. AuditFront shows these mappings on every control page, so you can leverage work done for one framework across others.
