The Unified Control Library (UCL)
One canonical control foundation for scalable assurance and compliance.
The Unified Control Library is the structural backbone of Basenorm. It defines every control once and reuses it across all frameworks, risks, and assurance processes.
One organisation. One control foundation.
Traditional GRC tools define controls per framework. That creates duplication, inconsistent ownership, and audit friction. Basenorm defines controls once, independent of frameworks.
- No duplicated controls
- No manual mapping
- No inconsistent ownership
- No audit chaos
Evidence mapped once, applied across all framework requirements
Controls defined once and reused everywhere.
The Unified Control Library is the single source of truth for all controls. Frameworks reference controls. Controls never reference frameworks.
- Single canonical control definition
- Framework-agnostic by design
- Evidence reused across requirements
- Automatic propagation of change
Continuous control lifecycle by design.
Controls are living objects. They evolve without breaking assurance or compliance posture.
