Experts in Information Risk Compliance

We’re experts, enthusiasts and evangelists in compliance for information management, with nearly a hundred years of front-line experience. We founded The Common Framework because we were tired of seeing UK organisations struggle with compliance, and we wanted to help them manage information risk better. 

We made it our mission to make compliance simple! 

To do this, we built ASIRTA™, a novel tool that makes information risk simple to manage, and gives peace of mind that it is under control.

Helping you simplify Information Risk compliance

We saw compliance as the destination, and governance as the journey; a journey that will improve your Information Security and that in turn will reduce your exposure to legal obligations.  With our long experience of information risk governance, we knew we could make the journey simple, easy and effective.

We set out to build a tool that helps you identify your risks, then create a plan to remediate them and then measure your progress along the plan.

We defined three innovative pillars on which to build the ASIRTA app.

Distill

First, our defining contribution to this space has been the construction of a common framework that maps together hundreds of information risk obligations from over 60 laws, allowing us to remove all of the duplications in UK regulation and simplify it dramatically. It’s a concept so powerful that we named the company after it!

Prioritise

Next, we codified the process of discovering information risks and compliance gaps, reviewing exposure to fines, identifying and prioritising remedial activity and finally, tracking progress.  This guided process makes it simple and straightforward to run your governance.

Report

Finally, we gathered governance and compliance activities into groups that naturally fit together, and we made it easy to assign each group to an accountable owner within the organisation, who can in turn delegate the discovery and remedial activities to appropriate people.  We built ASIRTA to bring everything seamlessly back together.

Save time, cost and stress on information risk and compliance.

Helping you fast-track compliance

You can’t fix every gap from the outset, and regulators don’t expect you to. If you can identify your gaps, assess your attitude to risk and your resources, then you can plan which risks to tackle first. This plan will minimise both your risk and your exposure to fines if the worst happens.

Knowing this, we built ASIRTA™ to help you assess your gaps and plan your remediation in a practical way that suits the skills and resources of your organisation. We added the means to track your progress and to prove your progress if that is ever required.

We also made it easy to get started. We know that if you do the basics, you’ll cover 90% of your regulatory overhead.  So, we built an Easy Start package to get control of most of your issues very quickly and grow from there. 

A range of license options to suit your business.
