Building Custom Frameworks
From the left-hand navigation panel, select Frameworks
The Frameworks page will showcase current progress for frameworks your organization is adhering to and provide additional information for Vanta's available frameworks
From the Frameworks page, select + Add a Framework
Complete the information from the pop-up modal
When uploading files, keep the following information in mind:
The column names must be in the format of Section ID, Section Name, Section Description, Parent Section ID, and Control IDs.
The column values are validated against the following:
Section ID: must be non-empty and unique
Section Name: must be non-empty and unique
Section Description: no restrictions
Parent Section ID: Must point to another section ID
Control IDs: The IDs of the custom controls to list under this section
Section Type: Mark any parent sections explicitly as parents by filling in
p. Rows left blank will be auto-populated ascand be considered child sections
Parent sections cannot have control ids mapped to them or parent sections of their own
For a custom framework upload to have a parent layer, at least one section must be marked as a parent during upload. Otherwise, it will turn into a custom framework with only child sections and no parent sections.
In a Framework with a Parent section, all child sections must have a parent section mapped to them
Capitalization differences are allowed
No extra white space is permitted
All columns are required, but Section Description, Parent Section ID, and Control IDs can be empty. Controls can be mapped to sections later on manually.
Once the information has been completed, select Next
From here, you will be asked to preview the Framework.
