Supported Frameworks & Standards
Bridge the Gap Between External Reality and Internal Governance
Observation is not protection, and a technical vulnerability is only half the story. ThreatNG translates unauthenticated, outside-in exposures into specific, actionable regulatory safeguards. By automatically mapping your true external digital footprint to globally recognized frameworks, we cure compliance blindness and ensure your security posture is both operationally resilient and legally defensible.
Comprehensive Regulatory & Industry Mapping
ThreatNG’s Context Engine automatically correlates technical findings, such as exposed cloud buckets, dangling DNS records, or leaked API keys, directly to the controls and mandates of the following supported frameworks and standards:
Cybersecurity & Governance Frameworks
CIS (Center for Internet Security Controls): Map external asset discovery and misconfigurations directly to foundational cyber defense safeguards.
NIST CSF (Cybersecurity Framework): Align external threat intelligence with core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
NIST 800-53: Ensure your external perimeter meets the rigorous security and privacy controls required for federal information systems.
ISO 27001: Provide empirical, outside-in evidence to support continuous auditing of your Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Data Privacy & Protection Regulations
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): Identify exposed PII and shadow IT infrastructure that violates European data sovereignty mandates.
CPRA (California Privacy Rights Act): Detect external data leaks and exposed storage that compromise consumer privacy rights in California.
DPDPA (Digital Personal Data Protection Act): Align external data storage and exposure monitoring with India’s primary data protection legislation.
POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act): Audit your external footprint for compliance with South Africa’s data privacy requirements.
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act): Discover unmanaged external infrastructure and third-party vendor leaks that threaten Protected Health Information (PHI).
Trust, Industry & Federal Standards
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2): Continuously monitor external infrastructure for adherence to Trust Services Criteria (security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy).
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard): Scan for exposed shopping cart directories, legacy PHP vulnerabilities, and leaked Bank Identification Numbers (BINs) in the digital exhaust.
FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program): Validate external cloud security boundaries and monitor continuous diagnostic and mitigation (CDM) requirements.
Advanced Risk & AI Frameworks
Open FAIR™: Translate external technical exposures into quantified financial risk models to drive executive decision-making.
ISO 42001: Monitor the external deployment and security parameters of Artificial Intelligence Management Systems.
MITRE ATLAS: Defend against adversarial tactics and techniques specifically targeting AI systems and machine learning models.
How Automated Framework Mapping Works
ThreatNG eliminates the manual "Compliance Scavenger Hunt." Our platform does the heavy lifting of translating raw internet telemetry into the language of risk and governance.
Connectorless Discovery: ThreatNG maps your external attack surface (shadow IT, unmanaged cloud buckets, legacy APIs) without requiring internal agents, API access, or seeds.
Exposure Verification: We evaluate the asset for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and leaked sensitive code.
Automated Cross-Referencing: The ThreatNG Risk Fabric automatically cross-references the exposure against the specific control families of your chosen frameworks.
Decision-Ready Verdicts: Instead of an ambiguous "High Risk" IT alert, your GRC team receives a definitive notification detailing exactly which regulatory control is currently failing due to the external exposure, alongside the remediation path.
Defend Your Perimeter. Prove Your Compliance.
Stop relying on internal attestation to manage external threats. Ensure your external digital footprint aligns with the frameworks that govern your business.
Frequently Asked Questions: Supported Frameworks and Standards
-
ThreatNG uses a 100% connectorless, outside-in discovery engine to find external assets and misconfigurations exactly as an adversary sees them. The Context Engine then automatically cross-references these technical findings against the specific controls of over a dozen global frameworks, including NIST CSF, CIS Controls v8, GDPR, and SOC 2. This instantly translates a technical vulnerability into a specific regulatory violation, providing immediate, actionable context for risk and compliance teams.
-
Traditional GRC platforms suffer from "Compliance Blindness" because they rely heavily on internal attestation and connected IT assets. If your engineering team does not know a legacy marketing cloud bucket exists, your internal GRC platform cannot audit it. ThreatNG acts as the automated external intelligence feed for your existing GRC tools. We discover the unmanaged shadow IT, legacy M&A debt, and dangling DNS records your internal sensors miss, and map them to your required compliance standards before an auditor or threat actor finds them.
-
It eliminates the manual "Compliance Scavenger Hunt." Historically, security analysts had to export massive lists of theoretical vulnerabilities and hand them to compliance officers, who would spend hours manually determining which regulatory controls were impacted. ThreatNG automates this translation natively. When an exposure is found, the platform delivers a Decision-Ready Verdict detailing exactly which framework safeguard is failing, drastically reducing the Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR) and the opportunity cost of human engineering hours.
-
Yes. Because ThreatNG requires no internal agents, API access, or administrative credentials to operate, it evaluates the digital footprint entirely from the outside. This allows organizations to uncover unsanctioned cloud environments or evaluate the external security posture of third-party vendors in their supply chain. You can automatically assess these unmanaged assets against rigorous standards like FedRAMP, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 without requiring any vendor onboarding or internal IT friction.
-
When an external exposure breaches a framework safeguard, ThreatNG generates a prioritized alert containing the specific technical evidence (e.g., an unauthenticated cloud database port), the exact framework control it violates (e.g., PCI DSS Requirement 1), and the recommended remediation path. Through the Risk Fabric API, this structured intelligence seamlessly routes into your existing SIEM, SOAR, or enterprise GRC platform to trigger immediate, automated workflows.
-
Board members measure risk in terms of financial impact, regulatory liability, and business resilience, not technical jargon. By mapping external exposures to risk taxonomies like Open FAIR or foundational governance standards like CIS, CISOs can elevate the conversation. Instead of reporting "we have 500 open vulnerabilities," security leaders can state "we have three external exposures currently violating our GDPR compliance, creating a measurable fiduciary risk." This provides the empirical, defensible evidence needed to justify security investments and prove regulatory due diligence at the executive level.
