The End of Mapping Fatigue: How the Unified Control Library (UCL) Solves Multi-Framework Complexity

The "Mapping Crisis"

As companies scale, they inevitably hit a wall. What started as a simple SOC 2 audit evolves into a complex web of ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.

In first-generation GRC tools, this leads to Mapping Fatigue: your team ends up uploading the same evidence multiple times for different frameworks because the tool doesn't know they are related.

Basenorm was built to break this cycle. At the heart of our platform is the Unified Control Library (UCL).

Instead of working framework-by-framework, you work control-by-control. If you verify your "Encryption at Rest" protocol once, the UCL automatically applies that verification to every relevant framework in your portfolio.

By moving away from a checklist-based approach and toward an intelligence-based architecture, Basenorm users see a 60% to 80% reduction in manual effort when adding a new framework.

Why can Basenorm do this when others can't? The secret is Semantic Mapping.

Our AI understands the intent of a control. It knows that a specific AWS configuration satisfies both a technical requirement in SOC 2 and a risk management requirement in DORA.

You don't have to be the translator between frameworks; Basenorm does that for you.

Because the UCL is always "on," you are never "preparing" for an audit. You are simply maintaining a state of continuous compliance.

When the auditor arrives, AskNorman provides the reasoning behind every mapped control, turning months of preparation into hours of verification.
