Unified Compliance is the integration of processes and tools to aggregate and harmonize all compliance requirements applicable to an organization. The defining requirements include the ability to:

• 1. Extract Mandates: Define rules to extract Mandates from Citations within Authority Documents.
• 2. Map Mandates to Common Controls: Map Mandates from all Citations to Common Controls and when necessary create new Common Controls.
• 3. Report Mapping Accuracy: Calculate the percent of match accuracy when tagging Mandates and mapping them to Common Controls.
• 4. Standardize Audits: Leverage a standardized structure for auditing the implementation of the Common Controls.

Without these four capabilities, Unified Compliance can’t take place.
