Framework setup (compliance programs)
The Framework setup area is where your organization defines and runs compliance programs—linking regulations such as ISO 27001, ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and others to controls, progress, risks, and evidence.
In the web app this lives at /setup/frameworks.
Getting started
If you have no framework project yet, you see a short Getting started panel explaining that you can manage ISO and other programs. Choose Create framework to open the setup dialog.
If a project already exists, the same page shows your framework workspace (dashboard-style tabs and panels) instead of the empty state. The product is oriented around one framework project per organization on this screen.
Create framework (dialog)
When you create a framework, you typically provide:
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Framework title | Required — how this program is named in Govern365. |
| Owner | Required — a member of your organization who owns the program. |
| Start date | When the program formally starts (date picker). |
| Geography | Region scope (for example Global, EU, US). |
| Status | High-level program status (for example Not started, In progress). |
| Goal | Required — short description of what you are trying to achieve. |
| Team | Optional — additional members attached to the framework project. |
| Applicable regulations | Required — pick at least one regulation from the catalogue (ISO, EU AI Act, etc.). Each selection drives which controls and requirements appear. |
Submitting creates the project and links the regulations you chose. Large regulations can take a moment to finish setting up.
Tabs on /setup/frameworks
The page uses tabs (and optional URL ?tab= for deep links) such as:
- Dashboard — overview metrics and progress for your framework program.
- Risks — framework-scoped risk views.
- Models — related AI models inventory context where wired in the UI.
- Controls — controls and requirements for tracking implementation.
- Settings — read-only summary of project details; Edit reopens the same style of flow as create to update fields.
Exact labels match the live app.
Who can create or change a framework
Only users whose role allows administrative editing of framework programs (typically Admin and Editor) can create or update a framework project. Other roles may still view depending on product rules elsewhere.
Plan and subscription limits
Creating a framework may be limited by your plan (for example maximum number of framework projects). If the app blocks you, you may see an upgrade or contact admin style prompt—follow that guidance.
