Framework Coverage
How many regulations does the platform support natively? Platforms that bolt on frameworks as afterthoughts often deliver incomplete coverage with manual workarounds.

EVALUATION CRITERIA
HOW WE EVALUATE COMPLIANCE SOFTWARE
Automation
Gap assessments, policy drafting, control mapping, and report generation. The more the platform automates, the less time your compliance team spends on repetitive tasks.
Multi-Framework Efficiency
Cross-framework control mapping means one implementation satisfies multiple frameworks. Without it, you duplicate work for every regulation you add.
Regulatory Reporting
xBRL-CSV export, authority reports, and board documentation. Some frameworks like DORA require specific reporting formats that most platforms do not support.
Third-Party Risk
Vendor questionnaires, risk scoring, concentration analysis, and sub-outsourcing chain tracking. Critical for DORA and NIS2 where supply chain risk is a regulatory focus.
Ease of Use
Time to value, learning curve, and team adoption speed. A platform your compliance officers actually use is worth more than one with features nobody can find.
FEATURE ANALYSIS
KEY FEATURES TO COMPARE IN COMPLIANCE PLATFORMS
Feature
Why It Matters
What to Look For
Gap Assessment
Identifies where your organisation falls short against a framework before regulators or auditors do.
Automated gap detection across all frameworks with prioritized remediation recommendations and progress tracking.
Policy Management
Every framework requires documented policies. Manual drafting takes weeks and produces inconsistent results.
AI-assisted policy generation, version control, approval workflows, and automatic mapping to framework requirements.
Risk Register
DORA Article 6 and NIS2 Article 21 both mandate formal ICT risk management with documented risk registers.
Automated risk scoring (likelihood x impact), treatment tracking, risk heatmaps, and integration with control mapping.
Incident Management
DORA requires ICT incident classification and reporting to authorities within strict timelines.
Structured incident classification, automated severity scoring, regulatory timeline tracking, and authority report generation.
TPRM
DORA dedicates an entire chapter to third-party risk. Regulators want visibility into your full supply chain.
Provider risk scoring, concentration analysis, sub-outsourcing chain mapping, contract health monitoring, and exit strategy documentation.
Board Reports
Management bodies must receive regular compliance and risk reports under DORA, NIS2, and ISO 27001.
One-click DOCX/PDF reports with executive summaries, risk heatmaps, compliance scores, and trend analysis.
Control Crosswalk
Without cross-mapping, you implement the same control separately for each framework, wasting 40-60% of effort.
150+ pre-mapped controls across frameworks, custom mapping support, and gap analysis showing which risks lack adequate controls.
AI Assistant
AI reduces the expertise barrier and accelerates tasks like policy drafting, gap analysis, and evidence review.
Context-aware AI that understands your compliance data, generates actionable recommendations, and drafts documents in your voice.
xBRL-CSV Export
DORA requires financial entities to submit the Register of Information in xBRL-CSV format to their competent authority.
Native xBRL-CSV export that validates against the official EBA taxonomy. Manual conversion is error-prone and time-consuming.
Personal Liability Tracking
NIS2 introduces personal liability for management. Tracking who approved what and when protects leadership.
Approval workflows with audit trails, management attestation records, and board-level accountability documentation.
