What’s new

With adaptive business unit scoping, you can define exactly what’s in scope for each framework, product, or region. Share only the relevant evidence with auditors to reduce back-and-forths, and update scopes automatically as your program evolves. The impact? Your compliance program grows with your business—but without manual updates.

‍

How it works

Adaptive business unit scoping lets you manage complex, multi-segment compliance programs without duplicating work or creating separate instances:

Define distinct compliance segments for each business unit, product line, or region

Manage multiple audits within a single workspace without recreating programs
Automatically keep frameworks, assets, controls, and tests aligned as your organization evolves
Share only the evidence relevant to each segment or audit, reducing noise and auditor back-and-forth

‍

How to try it

Adaptive business unit scoping is currently in public preview on Professional plans and above.
